Quad Solution for Packaging In-Store Displays Eliminates Plastic at its Earliest Point of Entry

Innovative LAMà® Band rids hard-to-recycle waste from in-store signage

SUSSEX, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Quad/Graphics (NYSE: QUAD), a global marketing experience company, announced the LAMà Band, an innovative and sustainable solution for packaging the company’s proprietary signage offering. LAMà Displays will now be delivered to retailers bundled with an easy-to-remove band made of the same recyclable paperboard used for the signs themselves.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230330005141/en/

With assembly instructions printed directly on the LAMà Bands, they are expected to eliminate 330,000 plastic polybags, 330,000 one-time-use paper instruction sheets, 660 paper-ream wraps, 66 corrugated boxes, 132 plastic straps, and eight wooden pallets from ever entering the waste stream every year. (Based on Quad’s 2022 sales data.)

The creation of the LAMà Band is a story of Quad’s “maker culture” in action. Its concept originated with the Quad In-Store division’s structural design team, which was tasked with developing innovative ideas that would advance Quad’s ongoing commitment to sustainability – for its own business and for its clients. This update to the LAMà Display packaging is also cost-neutral, and the change removes friction for retailers by making the assembly process even easier.

“The LAMà Band is a testament to the innovation in Quad’s DNA. The company was founded on the idea that there’s a better way. This eco-friendly solution – which came from a ‘moonshot’ idea – is just that: a better way,” said Kelly Burt, Vice President of Quad In-Store. “This is another important step in our ongoing sustainability journey. I can’t wait to see what we do next.”

“The simplest way to reduce waste is through innovative solutions centered on the principles of continuous improvement, which is exactly what Quad is doing here,” said Maura Packham, Quad Senior Vice President of Corporate Responsibility. “We’re committed to advancing our own environmental initiatives and bringing sustainable solutions to our clients. These are intentional changes to our offerings that we believe will generate long-term environmental benefits and contribute to our bottom line.”

Forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company’s expectations and judgments and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond our control.

The factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include, among others: the impact of decreasing demand for printed materials and significant overcapacity in a highly competitive environment creates downward pricing pressures and potential under-utilization of assets; the impact of fluctuations in costs (including labor and labor-related costs, energy costs, freight rates and raw materials, including paper and the materials to manufacture ink) and the impact of fluctuations in the availability of raw materials, including paper, parts for equipment and the materials to manufacture ink; the impact macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns, as well as ongoing supply chain challenges, labor availability and cost pressures, distribution challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic, have had, and may continue to have, on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations (including future uncertain impacts); the impact of increased business complexity as a result of the Company’s transformation to a marketing experience company; the inability of the Company to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency rapidly enough to meet market conditions; the impact of changes in postal rates, service levels or regulations, including delivery delays; the failure to attract and retain qualified talent across the enterprise; the impact of a data-breach of sensitive information, ransomware attack or other cyber incident on the Company; the fragility and decline in overall distribution channels; the impact of digital media and similar technological changes, including digital substitution by consumers; the impact negative publicity could have on our business and brand reputation; the failure of clients to perform under contracts or to renew contracts with clients on favorable terms or at all; the impact of risks associated with the operations outside of the United States, including trade restrictions, currency fluctuations, the global economy, costs incurred or reputational damage suffered due to improper conduct of its employees, contractors or agents, and geopolitical events like war and terrorism; the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively affect the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, supply chain and raw materials availability, as well as client demand (including future uncertain impacts); the failure to successfully identify, manage, complete and integrate acquisitions, investment opportunities or other significant transactions, as well as the successful identification and execution of strategic divestitures; significant investments may be needed to maintain the Company’s platforms, processes, systems, client and product technology, marketing and talent, and to remain technologically and economically competitive; the impact of the various restrictive covenants in the Company’s debt facilities on the Company’s ability to operate its business, as well as the uncertain negative impacts macroeconomic conditions may have on the Company’s ability to continue to be in compliance with these restrictive covenants; the impact of an other than temporary decline in operating results and enterprise value that could lead to non-cash impairment charges due to the impairment of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets; the impact of regulatory matters and legislative developments or changes in laws, including changes in cyber-security, privacy and environmental laws; the impact on the holders of Quad’s class A common stock of a limited active market for such shares and the inability to independently elect directors or control decisions due to the voting power of the class B common stock; and the other risk factors identified in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which may be amended or supplemented by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Gatos Silver Files Financial Results for the First Three Quarters of 2022 and Announces Investor Conference Call for 2022 Year-End Results

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Gatos Silver, Inc. (NYSE/TSX: GATO) (“Gatos Silver” or the “Company”) today filed its quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2022, which include its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for such periods. The 10-Qs were filed on both the EDGAR and SEDAR systems and are posted on the Gatos Silver website at https://gatossilver.com.

The Company expects that it will file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, on March 30, 2023, after markets close, which will include its financial results and its audited consolidated financial statements for the period.

The Company plans to host an investor and analyst call on March 31, 2023, details of which are provided below.

As previously disclosed, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of 2022 were delayed following Gatos Silver’s January 25, 2022, announcement of errors in the 2020 Technical Report that ultimately resulted in a reduction in the metal content of its previously estimated mineral reserves. With the filing of the Form 10-Qs for the first three quarters of 2022, Gatos Silver is current on its U.S. and Canadian securities regulatory filing requirements. The Company has, therefore, requested the Ontario Securities Commission to revoke the related Management Cease Trade Orders.

Gatos Silver’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $18.3 million¹ or $0.26 per basic and diluted share compared with a year-earlier net loss of $3.1 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share. The improvement in net income was primarily due to an increase in revenue for the 70%-owned Los Gatos Joint Venture (“LGJV”) driven by strong production. Production results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were disclosed on October 11, 2022.

In summary, the LGJV achieved the following results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with the same period a year earlier (100% basis):

• Revenue of $218.7 million, up 23% from $178.3 million
• Cost of sales of $81.6 million, up 16% from $70.3 million
• Net income of $53.0 million, up 27% from $41.7 million
• Cash flow from operations of $118.3 million, up 39% from $85.0 million
• By-product cash cost² of $1.24 per payable ounce of silver, down 77% from $5.48
• By-product AISC² of $9.50 per ounce of payable silver, down 42% from $16.33

For additional details please see the Company’s quarterly filings on the Company’s website, or on EDGAR and SEDAR.

The Company remains well-positioned to achieve its guidance and disclosed plans for 2023, including the further optimization of the Cerro Los Gatos (“CLG”) operation, advancing mine life extension opportunities, accelerating the drilling on the mineralization recently discovered at depth in the new South-East Deeps zone, and continuing exploration of the highly prospective Los Gatos district.

About Gatos Silver

Gatos Silver is a silver dominant exploration, development and production company that discovered a new silver and zinc-rich mineral district in southern Chihuahua State, Mexico. As a 70% owner of the LGJV, the Company is primarily focused on operating the Cerro Los Gatos mine and on growth and development of the Los Gatos district. The LGJV consists of over 103,000 hectares of mineral rights, representing a highly prospective and under-explored district with numerous silver-zinc-lead epithermal mineralized zones identified as priority targets.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

We use certain measures that are not defined by GAAP to evaluate various aspects of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Please see “Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs” and “Reconciliation of expenses (GAAP) to non-GAAP measures” below.

Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs

Cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) are non-GAAP measures. AISC was calculated based on guidance provided by the World Gold Council (“WGC”). WGC is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards for disclosure requirements. Other mining companies may calculate AISC differently as a result of differences in underlying accounting principles and policies applied, as well as definitional differences of sustaining versus expansionary (i.e. non-sustaining) capital expenditures based upon each company’s internal policies. Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of sales, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain production. Therefore, we believe that cash costs and AISC are non-GAAP measures that provide additional information to management, investors and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of the Company’s operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.

Cash costs include all direct and indirect operating cash costs related directly to the physical activities of producing metals, including mining, processing and other plant costs, treatment and refining costs, general and administrative costs, royalties and mining production taxes. AISC includes total production cash costs incurred at the LGJV’s mining operations plus sustaining capital expenditures. The Company believes this measure represents the total sustainable costs of producing silver from current operations and provides additional information of the LGJV’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows. As the measure seeks to reflect the full cost of silver production from current operations, new project and expansionary capital at current operations are not included. Certain cash expenditures such as new project spending, tax payments, dividends, and financing costs are not included.

Reconciliation of expenses (GAAP) to non-GAAP measures

The table below presents a reconciliation between the most comparable GAAP measure of the LGJV’s expenses to the non-GAAP measures of (i) cash costs, (ii) cash costs, net of by-product credits, (iii) co-product all-in sustaining costs and (iv) by-product all-in sustaining costs for our operations.

Community Health Systems Addresses Social Determinants of Health and Supports Local Charitable Organizations

FRANKLIN, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Hospitals and healthcare systems affiliated with Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) spent the month of March putting their care for the community into action. This year, CHS-affiliated hospitals celebrated National Doctors’ Day with charitable donations to non-profit organizations on behalf of physicians on their medical staffs. The organization also launched its first Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive, an initiative to address food insecurity, a social determinant of health, in communities where its affiliates operate.

Local charities have a significant impact on the lives of area residents and provide much needed support for vulnerable populations. To honor physicians on National Doctors’ Day on March 30, 2023, CHS-affiliated hospitals donated $216,100 to a wide range of charitable organizations, many of whom work to address social determinants of health across their communities.

Commenting on the Doctors’ Day donations, Tim L. Hingtgen, Chief Executive Officer of Community Health Systems said, “Each day, physicians working across our organization put their skills to work helping people get well and live healthier. Through donations to causes that matter to them, we express our collective respect and gratitude for their work, partnership, and the important role they play in our communities.”

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), more than 34 million people in the United States, including nine million children, are food insecure. Access to nutritious food can have a significant impact on an individual’s overall health and wellbeing. Through the Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive that took place this month, employees across the organization collected more than 64,000 jars of peanut butter, and other nut butters – enough to make more than one million peanut butter sandwiches. Peanut butter is high in nutritional value, has a long shelf life, and enjoys widespread popularity, making it a much needed item for food banks.

Comcast Business “Serves” up Next Generation Connectivity for the Arlen Specter US Squash Center

Preeminent squash facility and center of excellence readies for the future with game-changing network

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Comcast Business today announced that it is providing the Arlen Specter US Squash Center – home of US Squash and the country’s largest squash facility – with next-generation wired and wireless connectivity, paired with enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) solutions from MachineQ. Together, these technologies are helping the “Specter Center” improve back-of-house functions that drive operational efficiencies, deliver a rich fan experience, and facilitate training to enhance player performance.

Opened in 2021 and located in Philadelphia’s University City, the 76,000 square foot Specter Center is the home of US Squash and the world’s largest community squash center, providing world-class training resources to Team USA Squash athletes, hosting more than 25 national and international tournaments every year, and offering broad community access to its 20 courts. As the first physical space of US Squash, the Specter Center aimed to build a scalable network that would enable the facility to maintain its position as a state-of-the-art facility, both now and well into the future.

The Specter Center chose Comcast Business to deploy a mix of wired and wireless technologies to meet all its needs, including a next-generation network with Enterprise Dedicated Internet (EDI), Business VoiceEdge cloud-based telecommunications, X1 for Business TV and Enterprise IoT solutions from MachineQ. The facility is also trialing a 5G private wireless network solution installed by Comcast Business that leverages CBRS technology from Comcast Business vendor, Highway9 Networks.

Private wireless networks offer wireless broadband speed and capacity with reliability and low latency, enabling sporting venues like the Specter Center to support their rapidly expanding ecosystem of connected devices. This includes connecting point-of-sales, fan experiences, access controls and more.

“With Comcast Business, we never need to ask, ‘Can our infrastructure handle that?’ because we know it can,” said Ned Edwards, Executive Director, Arlen Specter US Squash Center. “From the very beginning, Comcast Business has helped us achieve our mission of creating and promoting opportunities to increase access to the sport and pursuing excellence on and off the court.”

Together, these technologies enable the Specter Center to:

• Preserve the quality of courts and help protect the facility by monitoring changes in temperature, humidity and potential leaks that could negatively impact court conditions or damage IT, mechanical and electrical equipment.
• Simultaneously live stream every match from every court, so fans never miss a beat – whether it’s with low latency on the facility’s eight suspended 13-foot digital video walls or at home. Substantial bandwidth enables greater streaming/broadcasting uploads and downloads, while allowing flexibility for outside broadcast teams to easily set up within the space.
• Help athletes manage every aspect of their game with new technology that will allow any player to record and access their match or practice session through their player profile to analyze – and improve – their play.

“A next-generation facility like the Specter Center demands a next-generation network,” said Scott Cohen, Executive Director of Strategic Wireless Solutions, Comcast Business. “We are proud to serve yet another one of Philadelphia’s state-of-the-art sporting facilities and provide scalable, future-ready technologies – both wired and wireless – that will keep the Specter Center at the leading edge of sports for years to come.”
