Strong Cloud Demand Fuels Q1 Double-Digit Growth in Asia Pacific’s IT and Business Services Market, ISG Index™ Finds

Strong Cloud Demand Fuels Q1 Double-Digit Growth in Asia Pacific’s IT and Business Services Market, ISG Index™ Finds

Combined market up 10%, driven by 19% increase in XaaS demand

Managed services slumps 26% in the face of economic uncertainty

SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Asia Pacific’s IT and business services market grew by double digits in the first quarter, powered by strong cloud demand amid a slump in managed services spending, according to the latest state-of-the-industry report from Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The Asia Pacific ISG Index™, which measures commercial outsourcing contracts with annual contract value (ACV) of US $5 million or more, shows ACV for the combined market—both managed services and as-a-service (XaaS)—rose 10 percent versus the prior year, to US $5.3 billion, the region’s fifth straight quarter of year-on-year growth.

Asia Pacific was powered by strong demand for cloud services, with as-a-service spending climbing 19 percent, to US $4.5 billion. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) advanced 18 percent, to US $3.95 billion, while software-as-a-service (SaaS) climbed 30 percent, to US $556 million.

Managed services ACV, meanwhile, slumped 26 percent, to US $778 million, its weakest result since the third quarter of 2023 and coming on the heels of four straight quarters of double-digit growth averaging 31 percent per quarter. IT outsourcing (ITO) dropped 16 percent, to US $539 million, with application development and maintenance (ADM), up 7 percent, and multi-tower infrastructure, up 88 percent, the only areas of growth. Business process outsourcing (BPO) fell by 31 percent, to US $155 million, and engineering services (ER&D), broken out from BPO for the first time, declined 54 percent, to US $84 million.

A total of 57 managed services contracts were awarded in the first quarter, down 14 percent year on year. A major driver of the shortfall was a decline in the number of smaller deals, those between US $5 million and US $9 million, which slumped 26 percent versus the prior year.

“The Asia Pacific market continued to be driven by strong demand for cloud-based services, as companies forged ahead with digital transformation and AI adoption,” said Michael Gale, partner and regional leader, ISG Asia Pacific. “The focus remains on cost resiliency, productivity and IT modernization.”

Gale said the market is likely headed into a period of increased volatility, driven by heightened economic uncertainty and the impact of U.S. tariffs. “Organizations are assessing the indirect impact of U.S. tariffs and the potential for further economic disruption,” he said.

One potential sign of that impact, Gale said, is the sharp decline in the number of small deals during the first quarter. “That could be a signal that discretionary spending is under pressure,” he said.

Results by Industry, Geography

Most industries turned negative versus the prior year, with the exception of the media/telecoms sector, which advanced by triple digits, and the region’s second largest vertical, manufacturing, which advanced nearly 7 percent. On the other hand, financial services, the region’s largest vertical, fell by 28 percent year on year.

By geography, most markets were down versus the prior year. Australia-New Zealand, the region’s largest market, pulled back 35 percent year on year, while Southeast Asia and China both declined by more than 70 percent. Japan and India were the lone bright spots, both up by double digits.

2025 Global Forecast

Heightened uncertainty from trade policy, geopolitical tensions and evolving regulations are beginning to weigh on the industry’s second-quarter outlook, ISG said.

ISG’s forecasts for market growth in 2025 are based on two scenarios. In the first scenario, the tariff environment stabilizes by midyear, and the market sees faster decision-making in the second half. Under that scenario, ISG forecasts XaaS growth of 18 percent for 2025, unchanged from its January forecast. ISG’s forecast for managed services growth would be 1.3 percent, down from its January forecast of 4.5 percent.

In the second scenario, tariffs would extend through the third quarter or beyond, compounded by immigration enforcement, prevailing wage issues or retaliatory digital services taxes in the EU, resulting in a longer pullback in discretionary demand and delays in award conversion. In this more bearish case, ISG forecasts XaaS growth for the year would moderate to 15 percent, while managed services spending would be negative 2.4 percent, a nearly 700 basis-point swing from its January forecast.

“We remain cautious in our base case, but not pessimistic,” said Gale. “The signals from Q1 are fundamentally strong. The shift we’re seeing is not one of declining demand, but one of delayed commitment.”

VTRS Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Viatris Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit

PR Newswire


NEW YORK
, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of securities of Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) between August 8, 2024 and February 26, 2025, both dates 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 June 3, 2025.

So What: If you purchased Viatris securities 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 Viatris class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=36783 call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 3, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants provided investors with material information concerning the failed inspection of Viatris’ Indore, India facility. Defendants’ statements, albeit made months after the initial inspection and defendants’ initiation of remediation efforts included, among other things, the disclosure of the FDA’s issuance of a warning letter and import alert which would prevent Viatris from shipping eleven products from the Indore facility, though four of such were exempt from the limitations (the “Warning Letter”). Defendants routinely referred to the impact of the Warning Letter as a mere “minor headwind” for Viatris.

Further, defendants provided these disclosures to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state impact of the Warning Letter on Viatris’ financials.

Notably, defendants did not disclose precisely when the inspection occurred, how long the remediation efforts had been implemented, or the financial impact of the existing and continued remediation efforts. Defendants further notably failed to disclose which products were subject to the FDA Warning Letter, which products were subject to exemptions, and the significance of the restricted products with respect to Viatris’ existing financials and future projections, and for which Viatris believed it would obtain exemptions. Such statements, absent these material facts, caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Viatris’ securities at artificially inflated prices. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

WEST WARWICK, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Items for PI Segment tables of release dated April 14, 2025 have been updated.

The updated release reads:

ASTRONOVA REPORTS FISCAL 2025 FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS; ADVANCING RESTRUCTURING, OPERATIONAL REALIGNMENT AND PRODUCT SIMPLIFICATION PLANS TO DRIVE IMPROVED EARNINGS POWER

  • Fourth quarter revenue of $37.4 million in line with preliminary expectations; fiscal 2025 revenue of $151.3 million comprised of 71% recurring revenue
  • Restructuring plan expected to deliver $3 million in annualized savings with 40% to be realized in fiscal 2026
  • Simplifying product portfolio; focused on higher growth higher margin products
  • Aerospace Test & Measurement segment ToughWriter printer transition 40% complete; drives operational efficiency and reduced working capital requirements while eliminating legacy royalties

AstroNova, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and full-year ended January 31, 2025. Results include the May 6, 2024 acquisition of MTEX NS.

Greg Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer of AstroNova, stated, “Fiscal 2025 was a challenging year as we addressed the difficult integration of MTEX, absorbed the impact of the Boeing strike and addressed the timing associated with large defense industry orders. Nonetheless, we aggressively implemented the AstroNova Operating System at MTEX, improved the leadership team, upgraded talent within the organization, and significantly improved the accounting and finance system and human resources processes. We are instilling accountability and discipline into the organization, streamlining the structure and eliminating waste. We have also identified how to best leverage MTEX’s operations in Portugal to create an AstroNova Center of Manufacturing Excellence in Europe. In fact, we are taking action throughout AstroNova to create a business that can deliver stronger earnings power.”

“Importantly, we are leveraging the innovative foundation of MTEX technologies to create more competitive solutions that address an expanded range of applications and provide our customers with higher quality and reliability. This will also enable us to gain greater control over our supply chain in order to reduce costs and expand margins. We plan to launch new products incorporating our next-generation technology in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and will be rolling out more products throughout the year.”

Fiscal 2026 Outlook Reaffirmed

For fiscal 2026, AstroNova continues to expect net revenue in the range of $160 million to $165 million which is a 7% increase over fiscal 2025 at the mid-point of the range. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be in the range of 8.5% to 9.5%, a 60-basis point expansion over the prior year at the mid-point.

Mr. Woods added, “We are focused on innovative solutions to gain market share and expand our market reach. Our strategic priorities in fiscal 2026 are to drive our print engine technology initiatives, capture greater ownership of the supply chain for our consumables, and drive the conversion to our ToughWriter family of printers with our Aerospace customers. In addition to offering a better solution for our customers, this conversion and other product simplification initiatives will reduce inventory, improve working capital and drive profitability.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Overview

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $37.4 million compared with net revenue of $39.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of 5.6% or $2.2 million, reflecting lower sales in both Product Identification (PI) and Test & Measurement (T&M) segments.

PI revenue was $25.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $26.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of 3.6% or $0.9 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to less favorable product mix in the 2025 period, partially offset by the addition of MTEX, which the Company acquired in May 2024.

On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, PI segment operating loss was $11.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which includes the previously announced non-cash goodwill impairment of $13.4 million largely associated with the Company’s MTEX business and $0.1 million in inventory step-up expenses. This compares with PI segment GAAP operating profit of $3.2 million, or 12.2% of segment revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, which includes $0.3 million in product retrofit costs and restructuring charges. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the discrete expenses in both periods, PI segment operating profit was $2.3 million, or 8.9% of segment revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with segment operating profit of $3.0 million, or 11.1% of segment revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

T&M segment revenue was $11.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $13.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of 9.9% or $1.3 million. The decrease was due primarily to a delayed defense order and, to a lesser extent, deferred deliveries associated with the Boeing strike.

T&M segment operating profit was $2.3 million, or 20.0% of segment revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with segment operating profit of $3.7 million, or 28.2% of segment revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

GAAP gross profit was $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, resulting in a gross margin of 34.1%, compared with gross profit of $14.7 million and a gross profit of 37.2% for the same period in fiscal 2024, primarily reflecting lower revenue and less favorable product mix in the 2025 period.

GAAP operating loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $12.3 million, compared with GAAP operating income of $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding discrete items in both periods, the Company reported operating income of $1.4 million, compared with $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Net loss on a GAAP basis was $15.6 million, or $2.07 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with net income of $2.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding discrete items in both periods, the Company reported net income of $0.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with net income of $2.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with Adjusted EBITDA $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

The Company’s order backlog was $28.3 million as of January 31, 2025 compared with $31.4 million at the end of fiscal 2024.

Full-Year Fiscal 2025 Overview

Net revenue for fiscal 2025 was $151.3 million compared with net revenue of $148.1 million for fiscal 2024, an increase of 2.2% or $3.2 million, reflecting higher sales in the T&M segment, partially offset by lower sales in the PI segment.

PI revenue was $102.3 million for fiscal 2025 compared with $104.0 million for fiscal 2024, a decrease of 1.6% or $1.7 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to less favorable product mix in the 2025 period, partially offset by the addition of MTEX, which the Company acquired in May 2024.

On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, PI segment operating loss was $4.0 million for fiscal 2025, which includes the previously announced non-cash goodwill impairment of $13.4 million largely associated with the Company’s MTEX business and $0.2 million in inventory step-up expenses. This compares with PI segment GAAP operating profit of $10.1 million, or 9.7% of segment revenue, for fiscal 2024, which includes $3.2 million in product retrofit costs and restructuring charges. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the discrete expenses in both periods, PI segment operating profit was $9.7 million, or 9.4% of segment revenue, for fiscal 2025, compared with segment operating profit of $13.2 million, or 12.7% of segment revenue, for fiscal 2024.

T&M segment revenue was $48.9 million for fiscal 2025 compared with $44.0 million fiscal 2024, an increase of 11.1% or $4.9 million. The increase primarily reflected higher revenue from supplies and service/other in the 2025 period, partly offset by lower hardware sales.

T&M segment operating profit was $11.1 million, or 22.8% of segment revenue, fiscal 2025 compared with segment operating profit of $10.2 million, or 23.2% of segment revenue, for fiscal 2024.

GAAP gross profit was $52.7 million for fiscal 2025, resulting in a gross margin of 34.9%, compared with gross profit of $51.6 million and a gross profit of 34.9% for fiscal 2024.

GAAP operating loss for fiscal 2025 was $8.6 million, compared with GAAP operating income of $8.8 million for fiscal 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding discrete items in both periods, the Company reported operating income of $6.6 million for fiscal 2025, compared with $12.0 million for fiscal 2024, primarily related to higher operating expenses in the 2025 period.

Net loss on a GAAP basis was $14.5 million, or $1.93 per share, for fiscal 2025 compared with net income of $4.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for fiscal 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding discrete items in both periods, the Company reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in fiscal 2025 compared with net income of $7.2 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, in fiscal 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million for fiscal 2025 compared with Adjusted EBITDA $17.6 million for fiscal 2024.

Amendment and Waiver of Credit Agreement

As previously disclosed, AstroNova obtained an amendment and waiver with regard to its credit agreement with Bank of America. Among other changes to the credit agreement, the amendment waives certain covered covenants as of the end of its fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025, provides for relaxed financial covenant ratios during fiscal 2026, and provides for reduced payments of one of its term loans during fiscal 2026 as the Company implements its restructuring efforts, after which the payments of such term loan increase. The amended credit agreement provides for up to $2 million in add-backs to the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) for Company cash restructuring charges in fiscal 2026.

Earnings Conference Call Information

AstroNova will discuss its fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2025 financial results and business outlook in an investor conference call at 9:00 a.m. ET today. To access the conference call, please dial (833) 470-1428 (U.S. and Canada) or (404) 975-4839 (International) approximately 10 minutes prior to the start time and enter access code 957215.

A real-time and an archived audio webcast of the call will be available through the “Investors” section of the AstroNova website, https://investors.astronovainc.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this news release contains the non-GAAP financial measures non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, non-GAAP segment operating profit, and Adjusted EBITDA. AstroNova believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures helps investors gain a meaningful understanding of changes in the Company’s core operating results and can help investors who wish to make comparisons between AstroNova and other companies on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. AstroNova’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring its core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. These measures are also used by the Company’s management to assist with their financial and operating decision-making. Please refer to the financial reconciliation table included in this news release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and 12 months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024.

AstroNova has not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA growth percentage included in its fiscal 2026 financial targets and outlook to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the lack of predictability regarding cost of sales, operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. The impact of any of these items, individually or in the aggregate, may be significant.

Leqembi®∇ (lecanemab) is the First Medicine that Slows Progression of Early Alzheimer’s Disease to be Authorized in the European Union

In the European Union (EU), lecanemab is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (early AD) who are apolipoprotein E ε4 (ApoE ε4

*

) non-carriers or heterozygotes with confirmed amyloid pathology

Lecanemab is the first therapy that targets an underlying cause of 
the disease to be authorized in the EU for eligible people with early AD

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB, Corporate headquarters: Cambridge, Massachusetts, CEO: Christopher A. Viehbacher, “Biogen”) announced today that the European Commission (EC) has granted the amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody Leqembi® (lecanemab) Marketing Authorization (MA) in the European Union (EU). This makes the medicine the first therapy that targets an underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to be granted a MA in the EU.1,2

Lecanemab is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia due to AD (early AD) who are apolipoprotein E ε4 (ApoE ε4*) non-carriers or heterozygotes with confirmed amyloid pathology.1 The lecanemab MA applies to all 27 EU Member States as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.3

Lecanemab is the only approved Aβ monoclonal antibody that preferentially binds and clears toxic protofibrils** (soluble Aβ aggregates), in addition to targeting and reducing Aβ plaques (insoluble Aβ aggregates).1,2,4-7 Protofibrils are a key toxic form of Aβ that accumulate in the brain and cause neuronal injury.410

MCI due to AD and AD dementia currently affects an estimated 15.2 million and 6.9 million people in Europe, respectively.11 AD progresses in stages that increase in severity over time, and each stage of the disease presents different challenges for those living with AD and their care partners. There is a significant unmet need for new treatment options that slow down the progression of AD from its early stage and reduce the overall burden on people affected by AD and society.

“Today’s decision makes lecanemab the first treatment option in the EU that can slow the progression of early Alzheimer’s disease. We are proud that our about 40-year heritage in dementia has led to this important milestone, as we aim to be part of the solution for a better future for those impacted by this disease globally,” said Haruo Naito, Chief Executive Officer at Eisai. “Eisai is working collaboratively with national reimbursement authorities and healthcare providers to support access for those eligible for lecanemab as soon as possible, aiming to make an impact not only on patients but also on their caregiving families and society in the EU.”

“The approval of lecanemab by the European Commission marks the thirteenth approval of this important medicine, which has already benefitted thousands of patients in the United States, Japan and other regions of the world,” said Christopher A. Viehbacher, President and Chief Executive Officer at Biogen. “Lecanemab is the first treatment which showed that the reduction of the Aβ plaques in the brain is associated with the slowing of cognitive decline in patients at the early stage of the disease. This is a landmark advancement in a field where there has been no or little innovation in the past 20 years.”

Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority. In the EU (excluding the Nordic countries), Eisai and Biogen will co-promote the medicine, with Eisai distributing the product as the MA Holder. In the Nordic countries, Eisai and BioArctic will co-promote the medicine, with Eisai distributing the product as MA Holder.

* Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the metabolism of lipid in humans. It is implicated in AD. People with only one (heterozygous) or no copy (non-carriers) of the ApoE ε4 gene are less likely to experience ARIA than people with two ApoE ε4 copies (homozygous).2 ARIA is a recognized important side effect with lecanemab that involves swelling and potential bleeding in the brain.1,2
** Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline of this progressive, debilitating condition.7 Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain which, in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms,7 not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells.8 It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may slow the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.8

Notes to Editors

  1. About lecanemab (generic name, brand name: Leqembi

    ®

    )
    Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).1,2

    The EC’s authorization was primarily based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s global Clarity AD clinical trial, in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.1,2 Clarity AD was a Phase 3 global, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized study in 1,795 patients with early AD (MCI or mild dementia due to AD, with confirmed presence of amyloid pathology). Of the total number of patients randomized, 1,521 were in the EU indicated population (ApoE ε4 non-carriers or heterozygotes).2 The treatment group was administered lecanemab 10 mg/kg bi-weekly, with participants allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either placebo or lecanemab for 18 months.2

    The primary endpoint was the global cognitive and functional scale, CDR-SB (n=764).2 In the Clarity AD clinical trial, treatment with lecanemab (n=757), in the EU indicated population (ApoE ε4 non-carriers or heterozygotes, measured by controlled-based multiple imputation), reduced clinical decline on CDR-SB by 31% at 18 months compared to placebo.1 The mean CDR-SB score at baseline was approximately 3.2 in both groups.1 The adjusted least-squares mean change from baseline at 18 months was 1.217 with lecanemab and 1.752 with placebo (difference, −0.535; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.778 to −0.293).1 CDR-SB is a global cognitive and functional scale that measures six domains of functioning, including memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care.12

    In addition, the secondary endpoint from the AD Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Scale for Mild Cognitive Impairment (ADCS MCI-ADL), which measures information provided by people caring for patients with AD, noted 33% less decline compared to placebo at 18 months.1 The adjusted mean change from baseline at 18 months in the ADCS MCI-ADL score was −3.873 in the lecanemab group and −5.809 in the placebo group (difference, 1.936; 95% CI, 1.029 to 2.844).1 The ADCS MCI-ADL assesses the ability of patients to function independently, including being able to dress, feed themselves and participate in community activities. 13

    In the EU indicated population (ApoE ε4 non-carriers or heterozygotes) (n=757), the most common adverse reactions were infusion-related reaction (26%), ARIA-H (13%), headache (11%) and ARIA-E (9%).1

    Lecanemab has been approved in the U.S.,14 Japan,15 China,16 South Korea,17 Hong Kong,18 Israel,19 the United Arab Emirates,20 the United Kingdom21, Mexico,22 Macau, Oman, Taiwan and the EU,1 and is under regulatory review in 14 countries and regions. In January 2025, the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing of the treatment was approved in the U.S. After an 18 months initiation phase with once every two weeks of dosing, a transition to the maintenance dosing regimen of 10 mg/kg once every four weeks or continuing 10 mg/kg once every two weeks may be considered. Additionally, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted Eisai’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for the LEQEMBI subcutaneous autoinjector for weekly maintenance dosing in January 2025 and set a PDUFA action date for August 31, 2025.

    Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.

    As requested by the regulatory authority, efficacy analyses were conducted for ApoE ε4 non-carriers or heterozygotes participants using control-based multiple imputation method, in which all missing values were imputed with copy-increments (change between visits) using the actual value in placebo group.23 This methodology differs from that used in the Clarity AD primary analysis which used mixed-model repeat measures (MMRM) with missing at random assumption.2

  2. About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for AD
    Eisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.

  3. About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for AD
    Since 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up was signed in May 2015.

IPAX-Linz Study Reports Promising Efficacy for TLX101 Glioma Therapy Candidate

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, Telix, the Company) today announces preliminary results from the Phase 2 IPAX-Linz study of TLX101 (131I-iodofalan1) in recurrent high-grade glioma (brain cancer), substantiating the patient benefit seen in the IPAX-1 study2.

IPAX-Linz is a single-arm Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial (IIT). IPAX-Linz evaluates the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of TLX101 therapy, in combination with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). The target patient population is patients at first or second recurrence with high-grade gliomas (HGG), including glioblastoma.

Treatment with TLX101 was well tolerated with no serious adverse events reported. IPAX-Linz demonstrated encouraging preliminary efficacy data, indicating a median overall survival (OS) of 12.4 months from the initiation of treatment with TLX101, or 32.2 months from initial diagnosis3. This is consistent with the positive efficacy signal generated in the IPAX-1 study in patients at first recurrence, with only one prior resection and treatment with standard chemoradiotherapy. IPAX-1 reported a median OS of 13 months from the initiation of treatment with TLX101, or 23 months from initial diagnosis4. In comparison, recurrent glioblastoma patients treated with EBRT alone have a reported median survival of 9.9 months from treatment5.

Eight patients were included in the study with adaptive dosing of intravenous TLX101 up to administered activity of 4 GBq before, and up to 2 GBq after, second line EBRT, administered in sequential injections. Inclusion criteria comprised patients with glioblastoma with current evidence of first or second recurrence after standard radiochemotherapy, at least six months since end of first line EBRT, and molecular imaging with Telix’s investigational PET6 agent for glioma, TLX101-CDx (Pixclara®718F-floretyrosine, or 18F-FET), indicating pathologically increased amino acid uptake. Surgery for relapsed tumors was allowed. Of the eight IPAX-Linz patients, five had MGMT unmethylated tumors8, typically associated with especially poor prognosis.

Professor Josef Pichler, Kepler University Hospital, Austria, Principal Investigator in the IPAX-Linz, IPAX-1, and IPAX-2 studies, commented, “These preliminary results in relapsed patients showed that TLX101 treatment was very well tolerated, with no serious adverse events, at a higher dose than in previous studies. Early efficacy from IPAX-1 was corroborated, despite the poor prognostic parameters with MGMT unmethylated tumors and multiple relapses before commencing experimental therapy in this IPAX-Linz study. TLX101 continues to show significant potential to improve outcomes for patients living with high-grade glioma. These results also potentially support higher therapeutic doses in subsequent prospective controlled studies.”

Dr. David Cade, Chief Medical Officer at Telix, said, “These are encouraging results, offering new options for patients with historically poor outcomes. We are grateful to Dr. Pichler and his team for building on the IPAX-1 study in a more advanced and complex study cohort that is also representative of a real-world patient population.”

Preliminary results from IPAX-Linz will be presented by Dr. Pichler at the Nuclear Medicine and Neurooncology (NMN) Symposium taking place in Vienna, Austria from 9 – 10 May 2025. Visit the event website for further information: https://www.nmn-society.org/

TLX101 Development Program and Registration-Enabling Study Update

Telix continues to investigate TLX101 in front-line and recurrent settings. IPAX-2, a Phase 1/2 study in front-line glioblastoma in combination with standard of care and using TLX101-CDx as a companion diagnostic, continues to recruit patients.

Telix has submitted for ethics approval a registration-enabling study of TLX101 in recurrent glioblastoma. Subject to approval this will enable patient enrolment to commence at Australian sites in H2 2025, ahead of international expansion. Following the successful pre-IND9 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Q4 2024, the Company is also on track to submit an IND application in H1 2025, with the goal of commencing the study at U.S. sites in H2 2025.

About TLX101

TLX101 (131I-iodofalan or 131I-IPA) is a systemically administered targeted radiation therapy that targets L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), which is typically over-expressed in glioblastoma. TLX101 therapy utilizes a small molecule approach due to the need to cross the blood brain barrier, the normal protective barrier that prevents many potential drug candidates entering the brain. TLX101 has received orphan drug designation in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of glioma. TLX101 and TLX101-CDx have not received a marketing authorization in any jurisdiction.

Expanding Commercial and Strategic Customer Partnerships

  • Product development and qualification continues to build momentum across key customer sectors – defense, automotive and consumer electronics.
  • Strong customer engagement for high-performance titanium components that suffer from historically low material yields (high scrap rates) – such as titanium fasteners, housings, and precision components.
  • IperionX is actively working on pilot production, with eight commercial partners supporting a rapid path-to-market for high-performance titanium manufactured components.

Continued Momentum in U.S. Government Engagement

  • IperionX was awarded up to $47.1 million in U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) funding to accelerate development of a secure, low-cost, mineral-to-metal titanium supply chain. An additional $11.0 million in financing was approved by the U.S. Export-Import Bank for advanced manufacturing equipment.
  • IperionX is progressing long-term, tax-exempt bond financing through Virginia’s Halifax County Industrial Development Authority to underpin future titanium production expansions.
  • Multiple additional government funding applications are underway, with strong potential for fast-track review under the new U.S. administration.

Titanium Production Expansion Plans Underway

  • The DoD award provided the catalyst to commence engineering and design for expansion of titanium production capacity at the Titanium Manufacturing Campus.
  • Expansion of titanium production capacity is targeted by the end of 2026, with future modular-based production expansions scoped through to 2030. Expansion plans are expected to be released mid-2025.

Titan Project – DFS Underway for U.S. Critical Minerals Supply

  • Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) commenced at the Titan Critical Minerals Project, funded in part by the recent U.S. DoD award. The Titan Project is the largest critical mineral sands project in the U.S.
  • The DFS, expected to be completed in Q2 2026, will define engineering, flowsheets, and infrastructure for long-term supply of titanium feedstock and heavy rare earths, including dysprosium and terbium – key elements for high-performance magnets and defense systems.

Strong Financial Position

  • At March 31, 2025, IperionX held US$66.1 million in cash
