PitchBook LCD Introduces Default Predictor, a Forward-Looking Leveraged Loan Default Rate Indicator

PitchBook LCD Introduces Default Predictor, a Forward-Looking Leveraged Loan Default Rate Indicator

New quantitative research tool delivers a six-month default rate estimate for the US leveraged loan market

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PitchBook, the leading private capital market intelligence platform, today introduced the PitchBook LCD Default Predictor, a new quantitative research tool that produces a monthly, forward-looking estimate of the aggregate default rate in the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index. The tool gives credit market participants a clearer view of where leveraged loan default rates may trend over the next six months, helping investors move from reactive analysis to proactive portfolio positioning.

As credit markets navigate heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, leveraged loan investors, credit funds, and risk management teams face growing pressure to anticipate default risk before it appears in trailing default rates. The LCD Default Predictor addresses this gap by deploying a regression analysis using pricing signals already embedded in the loan market in conjunction with credit ratings to estimate where default rates are likely headed.

“The tools most widely used to assess default risk in the leveraged loan market are, by nature, backward-looking,” said Nizar Tarhuni, EVP of Research and Market Intelligence at PitchBook. “When macro conditions are moving as fast as they are now, that lag is felt. Risk builds in the market well before it shows up in reported data, and that gap has direct consequences for how portfolios are positioned. The Default Predictor gives credit professionals the lead time to act, not just react, and the ability to anticipate risk is becoming a baseline expectation.”

The model is grounded in one of the most immediate signals available to credit investors: how individual loans in the index are trading. It analyzes each loan’s current price, whether that price is rising or falling, and how it compares to the broader market, alongside the loan’s credit rating and any recent rating changes. From there, it estimates the likelihood that each loan will default in the next six months and aggregates those loan-level estimates into an overall market default rate, giving portfolio managers and risk teams a single forward-looking number rather than a collection of lagging indicators. The result is calibrated against historical patterns, reducing noise from extreme pricing spikes during periods of market distress.

Unlike traditional ratings-driven approaches to forecasting default risk, the LCD Default Predictor incorporates real-time loan pricing and price momentum as primary inputs, capturing market-implied stress signals that credit ratings often lag by weeks or months. This makes it a faster-moving, market-sensitive indicator grounded in PitchBook LCD’s deep historical leveraged loan dataset.

“Rising credit risk and distressed loans are key concerns for lenders and close monitoring of default expectations is an important step in loss mitigation,” said Kenny Tang, Sr. Director, Head of US Credit Research at PitchBook. “The Default Predictor gives investors a six-month window to evaluate whether default risk is building up across the market and help them determine whether to adjust their portfolios accordingly.”

The LCD Default Predictor is the latest addition to PitchBook LCD’s expanding credit research platform, which over the past year has grown to include US and European Private Credit Monitors, a European dual-track default rate, and an upcoming comprehensive BDC analysis. Together, these tools reflect LCD’s continued investment in bringing quantitative rigor and forward-looking intelligence to credit markets – giving participants the data and analysis they need to stay ahead of risk, not just respond to it.

Regions Bank + Dash Solutions Collaborate on New Treasury Management Solution to Modernize Client Payment Operations

Regions ReimbursePro delivers fast, flexible and convenient options to help clients initiate real-time money movement.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regions Bank on Thursday announced the launch of Regions ReimbursePro, the bank’s latest Treasury Management innovation designed to help business clients modernize their payment processes and expedite real-time money movement.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260423750515/en/

Regions ReimbursePro is a new, forward-thinking Treasury Management solution designed to help business clients accelerate refunds, modernize their payment processes and fuel growth.

Regions ReimbursePro is a new, forward-thinking Treasury Management solution designed to help business clients accelerate refunds, modernize their payment processes and fuel growth.

Regions ReimbursePro is powered by Dash Solutions, a leading payments enablement company also headquartered in Birmingham. The solution provides Regions’ Treasury Management clients access to a modern, secure digital platform that helps transform refund operations away from older, manual, time-consuming processes that include paper documents and physical checks.

Key upgrades include:

  • Once a reimbursement is initiated through this new solution, recipients can choose to spend funds immediately via their digital wallet.

  • Or, they can instantly send funds to a preferred account, such as a checking or savings account or a digital payments platform.

  • When the digital option is selected, funds are delivered immediately, enabling faster account reconciliation. This, in turn, helps reduce unclaimed refunds and escheatment, which significantly lowers the risk of check-related errors or re-issues.

“Regions Bank’s commitment to forward-thinking payments technology is one of the top reasons business clients turn to us for their banking relationship,” said Bryan Ford, head of Regions Treasury Management. “In recent years, our team has introduced a range of powerful solutions that help clients automate workflows and payments, eliminate friction, mitigate fraud and manage their operations with greater efficiency. This refund solution is the logical next step, and it reflects our relentless focus on innovation and ease of use. Our collaboration with Dash Solutions helps enable us to deliver smarter, faster tools that help clients move money confidently.”

ReimbursePro works with many industries including:

  • Healthcare

  • Insurance and finance

  • Energy and other utilities

  • Higher education

  • Legal

  • Telecom and other technology services

  • Nonprofit and government sectors

  • Real estate and property management

Regions ReimbursePro directly complements the bank’s broader support for specialized industries with skilled bankers who bring deep industry knowledge, experience, insights and understanding to provide a full range of capital solutions to meet clients’ needs.

“Efficient payments are critical to enterprise success, yet billions of transactions still run through legacy systems that weren’t built for how organizations operate today,” said Stephen Faust, CEO of Dash Solutions. “Regions shares our commitment to changing that, and together, we are helping clients modernize how they move money with less risk, better visibility, stronger controls and a payee experience that meets people where they want to be met. We’re making something critical work the way it should.”

“Our work in Regions Treasury Management really focuses on two key areas – meeting the needs of clients today and always looking ahead to how we can meet the needs of tomorrow,” Bryan Ford from Regions concluded. “This commitment, combined with the experience of our teams in serving multiple unique industries, will continue to differentiate us throughout the marketplace.”

Tilray Brands Positioned for U.S. Expansion Amid Historic Cannabis Rescheduling

Tilray Medical Poised to Accelerate U.S. Medical Cannabis Access for Patients

NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray”, “our”, “we” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company at the forefront of the cannabis, beverage, and wellness industries, today issued a statement applauding President Donald Trump’s actions leading to rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act – a defining inflection point that represents a fundamental shift in U.S. drug policy, unlocking significant opportunities for medical cannabis clinical research, patient access, and industry standardization. The action represents the most consequential federal cannabis policy development in decades, accelerating the emergence of a regulated, science-driven medical cannabis framework in the United States.

Irwin D. Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tilray Brands, stated:

“Today marks a pivotal moment for the United States. With President Trump’s action to reschedule cannabis, federal policy is finally aligning with science, medicine, and most importantly, patient needs. This is about people: patients fighting cancer, seniors managing chronic pain, veterans navigating PTSD, and children with epilepsy whose families have long sought safe, effective options. For decades, they have turned to medical cannabis. Today, the system begins to catch up with them. Rescheduling has the potential to accelerate clinical research, broaden access, and elevate the quality, consistency, and safety standards that establish medical cannabis as a legitimate pillar of modern healthcare.

“At Tilray, we have built a global platform for precisely this moment. We are among the world’s largest cannabis growers with more than 7 million square feet of cultivation capacity and a recognized global leader across pharmaceutical-grade, cannabis production, clinical research, product innovation, and patient care. Through Tilray Medical, we have served hundreds of thousands of patients across more than 20 countries in some of the world’s most stringently regulated markets. This is how healthcare evolves. Tilray stands ready to partner with regulators and healthcare providers to responsibly expand access to medical cannabis and help shape the future of this industry in the United States.”

Tilray Medical

Tilray Medical brings a competitive foundation few can match: a proven track record operating at scale across more than 20 highly regulated international markets, pharmaceutical-quality cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution infrastructure, and deep regulatory fluency developed through years of engagement with healthcare authorities around the world and navigating complex regulatory frameworks. Having supported hundreds of thousands of patients globally through a broad portfolio of cannabinoid formulations including CBD and THC-based products across beverages, edibles, topicals, and additional formats, Tilray Medical is prepared to bring that same standard of care, quality, and compliance to U.S. patients.

As U.S. federal policy reaches an inflection point, Tilray is uniquely positioned to lead the emergence of a regulated medical cannabis market. Tilray is actively evaluating participation in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) pilot program, which would position the Company as a supply partner to Accountable Care Organizations and oncology practices delivering hemp-derived medical cannabis to underserved and vulnerable patient populations while generating clinical outcomes data that will help shape the standards of an emerging regulated industry.

About Tilray Brands 
Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray”) (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), is a leading global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company with operations in Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia and Latin America that is leading as a transformative force at the nexus of cannabis, beverage, wellness, and entertainment elevating lives through moments of connection.

  • Lyft has agreed to acquire Gett’s United Kingdom business with close expected in the coming weeks, subject to customary closing conditions.

  • Gett is one of London’s leading black cab apps with strong enterprise business-to-business (B2B) relationships, and brings together the majority of Greater London’s registered black cab drivers and will nearly double the number of rides on the Lyft platform in London.

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Lyft (Nasdaq: LYFT) has agreed to acquire Gett’s UK business, subject to customary closing conditions, with close expected in the coming weeks. Gett is a leading London black cab app, and combined will have the majority of registered black cab drivers across Greater London on the Lyft platform. With the addition of Gett, Lyft is positioned as the leading app for London black cabs and will offer a comprehensive suite of ground transport options — from black cabs and private hire to bikes and executive chauffeur — that will nearly double the number of rides on the platform across the capital.

Lyft acquires Gett UK; expands rider offerings in London

Lyft acquires Gett UK; expands rider offerings in London

Lyft already owns Freenow; currently provides and was recently renewed to provide the bikes and stations for Santander Cycles, including the software that powers them; and later this year will be testing autonomous rides in London with Baidu — making it one of the only platforms in the world offering both human-driven and autonomous rides in the city. This acquisition advances Lyft’s sustainable global growth strategy by expanding “out” in more locations and “up” into more high-value segments.

Gett’s strength is its enterprise DNA — years of high-value B2B relationships with clients ranging from London’s largest corporations to historic venues and major public sector organizations. Together, that makes Lyft one of London’s most comprehensive mobility platforms, in Europe’s largest taxi and ride-hail market.

“With Gett, Lyft is expanding its coverage of London’s full ground transport ecosystem,” said Jeremy Bird, EVP of Global Growth at Lyft. “This milestone reflects Lyft’s commitment to the London market and our belief in its long-term potential. Adding Gett to Lyft’s ecosystem positions Lyft as the leading app for London black cabs.”

“Those who drive black cabs are some of the world’s most qualified drivers. Drivers pass the world’s toughest taxi exam, learning 25,000 streets and 20,000 landmarks before being licensed,” said Thomas Zimmermann, CEO of Freenow by Lyft. “We are excited to welcome Gett into the Lyft ecosystem, strengthening our customer-centric black cab and private hire service for Londoners, passengers across the UK, and travelers worldwide.”

Gett brings not just drivers and riders, but a proven enterprise business — and its team will transfer to Freenow by Lyft once the acquisition is complete.

“We are delighted to start a new chapter for Gett operations in the UK with Lyft,” said Matteo de Renzi, CEO of Gett. “I’m confident that under this new ownership, the team at Gett by Lyft will continue to reach new heights, for the benefit of all our customers, drivers, and partners.”

Lyft will release Q1 2026 financial results after the close of the market on Thursday, May 7, 2026. On the same day, Lyft will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss these financial results and business highlights. The acquisition will not impact Q1 2026 results and will have an immaterial impact to Q2 2026.
