PV Sindhu cruises past Unnati Hooda to reach Syed Modi final, Lakshya Sen too makes title clashPowerfleetâs (AIOT) âOutperformâ Rating Reiterated at William BlairPedro Martinez Losa's side sit at the half-way stage of their European Championship play-off final and despite Finland the happier of the two teams after Friday's goalless game at Easter abroad, goalkeeper Eartha Cumings has insisted there is no reason for a loss of optimism. Indeed, she believes that Scotland have game changing talent at their disposal. Getting those players into the game and in a position to influence it will at the forefront of Martinez Losa's mind this weekend. Certainly, though, there is no question that it will need to be a vastly improved performance from what was on offer in Leith with Finland easily the more menacing of the two teams. âWe do have special players who can turn up for us,â said Cumings . âWe all know that we have really talented players in our squad so if that is what it comes to do and it helps us to get over the line then I think we have got it.

You have to stand up and be counted.â And Cumings has also revealed that the veterans of the squad who have already experienced World Cups and European Championships are the driver for Scotland to go and do it again. Scotland have not been at a major tournament since the World Cup in France back in 2019 with Cumings determined to sample playing on the biggest stages. âI have said it before, it would mean everything,â she said. âWe all want to play for Scotland at a major tournament. It is all of our dreams. There are girls who have done it before. âI would love to achieve that. You sit at home and you watch the games on TV and it hurts to not be there. âThe girls have been speaking about how amazing the feeling was when they qualified for the World Cup and just saying, âimagine that feeling.â They have said that it has been the best moment of their careers. I would love to experience that euphoria and that joy of making it.â And the goalkeeper, whose day job is with Rosengard in Sweden, believes that while there will be moments when Scotland will have to struggle in Helsinki, that they have the required mentality to prevail. âYou always have to suffer in football,â she said. âIt is never just great, great, great in football. It is not a linear experience. There are ups and downs and that is what makes the ups so amazing. âWe all still believe that it is in our hands. I fully believe that this is a squad who are capable of going and taking us to Switzerland this summer. âThere was a bit of tension within the game on Friday night but I think that is to be expected when you know what is at stake. But the squad as a whole is fairly relaxed. âWe all believe in one another and we know that if we keep our focus and play the way that we know we can, then it is entirely possible for us to qualify. It will take a huge effort but we are most definitely capable of getting there.â There was a reprieve of sorts for Martinez Losaâs side yesterday as they were given the afternoon off to spend with families ahead of tomorrowâs flight to Helsinki.

Gaetz, who resigned from the US House of Representatives last week, was recently the subject of an Ethics Committee probe into allegations he had sex with an underage 17-year-old girl. He has denied wrongdoing. The Republican released a statement on X on Thursday saying he believed his nomination was becoming a âdistractionâ to the new Trump administration. âWhile the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,â he wrote. âThere is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. âI will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I'm certain he will Save America.â Gaetzâs nomination was an early test of Trump's power over Congress, where his Republican Party will hold majorities in both chambers next year. Gaetz was disliked by many fellow Republicans for having orchestrated the ouster last year of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, throwing the House into chaos for weeks. Republicans in the Senate had bristled at the idea of being asked to vote on Gaetz without seeing the findings of the House Ethics Committee's investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct. Gaetz earned a reputation as a firebrand and loyal Trump ally during his time in the House and his nomination was viewed as an indication Trump would follow through on his vows to use the Justice Department to exact retribution against his foes. "He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Since Trump's pick, a handful of Republican senators had either directly questioned the pick or said they would want to see the findings of the ethics report on Gaetz, raising questions of whether he could win sufficient votes for confirmation in a chamber where Republicans are expected to hold a 53-47 majority. "There was perhaps some information out there that the president was not aware of when he made the original recommendation," said Republican Senator Mike Rounds. He described Gaetz's withdrawal as the Senate fulfilling its duty to advise presidents on nominations.

First Quarter of Fiscal 2025 Continuing Operations Highlights * ** Organic sales represent net sales excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, acquisitions, and divestitures. A reconciliation of organic sales to comparable net sales is presented in the tables accompanying this release. MILWAUKEE, Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (NYSE: EPAC) (the "Companyâ or "Enerpacâ) today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended November 30, 2024. "We entered fiscal 2025 mindful of a sluggish industrial macro environment,â said Paul Sternlieb, Enerpac Tool Group's President & CEO. "Nonetheless, we believe Enerpac can continue to outperform the market given our global brand leadership, targeted growth strategy, customer-driven innovation, and continuous improvement process to enhance operational efficiency and productivity.â "First quarter fiscal 2025 was essentially in line with our expectations, reflecting our ability to operate in a soft market, while lapping strong growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2024,â said Darren Kozik, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $145.2 million compared to $142.0 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 2.3%. Organic sales, excluding the acquisition of DTA and the impact of foreign currency, decreased 0.8% year-over-year. Service organic revenue growth of 5.6% was offset by a 2.7% decline in product sales. Net sales for Industrial Tools & Services (IT&S) increased 2.3%, driven by the increase in service revenue and the acquisition of DTA. The organic sales decline of 1.0% for IT&S was partially offset by a year-over-year improvement at Cortland Biomedical, which comprises the Other operating segment. Gross profit margin declined 90 basis points year-over-year to 51.4% due to lower sales in the Americas, a higher percentage of service revenue, and a return to normalized margins at Cortland. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $42.3 million were $2.3 million lower year-over-year. SG&A was 29.1% of sales, down from 31.4% in the year-ago period. Adjusted SG&A expenses, excluding one-time costs associated with the acquisition of DTA, were $42.2 million as compared to $41.1 million in fiscal 2024. The prior-year period adjusted SG&A excluded ASCEND and restructuring charges. As a percentage of sales, adjusted SG&A held flat at 29.0%. Operating profit increased 9% year-over-year to $31.1 million, with an operating profit margin of 21.4%, up from 20.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted operating profit decreased 3.6% to $31.3 million, with an adjusted operating margin of 21.5%, down from 22.8% in the year-ago period. First quarter fiscal 2025 net income and diluted EPS were $21.7 million and $0.40 respectively, compared to $18.3 million and $0.33, respectively, in the year-ago period. First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $34.3 million compared to $34.9 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 100 basis points year-over-year to 23.6% driven by lower gross margins coupled with the inclusion of DTA. Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to a use of $6.7 million in the prior-year period. Cash flow from operations was higher than the prior year, the benefit of higher net earnings, lower annual incentive compensation payments made in the first quarter compared to the prior year, and the absence of payments related to discontinued operations. IT&S Results Comparisons First quarter fiscal 2025 net sales for IT&S were $140.1 million, an increase of 2.3% year-over-year with organic sales down 1.0%. The decline in organic sales was driven by a 3.0% decrease in product sales, partially offset by a 5.6% increase in service revenue. The segment's operating profit margin increased approximately 110 basis points to 27.1% as the prior-year period included ASCEND and restructuring costs. Adjusted operating profit margin declined 90 basis points to 27.2%, driven by sales mix and the inclusion of DTA's results. DTA Acquisition On September 4, Enerpac completed the acquisition of DTA, a producer of automated on-site horizontal movement products, to complement its Heavy Lifting Technology product portfolio. "With the integration well underway, we are capitalizing on the opportunity to leverage Enerpac's global sales network and expand DTA's sales outside of Europe,â added Sternlieb.

The Company is projecting a net sales range of $610 million to $625 million in fiscal 2025.

The Philippines surged 31 places in the 2024 United Nations (UN) e-Participation Index (EPI), rising to 49th from 80th in 2022 amid enhanced digital governance. The EPI evaluates how governments leverage digital tools to empower citizens, promote transparency, and encourage active participation in governance. The Philippinesâ progress in the EPI is also mirrored in the 2024 UN E-Government Development Index (EGDI), where the country rose to 73rd place from 89th in 2022, advancing 16 spots. Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Ivan John Uy described the milestone over the weekend as a testament to the governmentâs efforts to enhance digital transformation. "This milestone underscores our dedication to making government services more accessible, transparent, and participatory for every Filipino," Uy said. The DICT credited the improvement to the eGov Super App, its flagship platform integrating national and local government services. The app offers various services, including business registration, tourism information, job creation tools, travel declarations, and e-commerce features. According to DICT Undersecretary David Almirol, the eGov Super App aggregates existing systems using Single Sign-On and API integration, allowing seamless access to government services while maintaining compatibility with current agency systems. He said the DICT is also working with the Departments of Foreign Affairs and Tourism and the Bureau of Immigration to incorporate the Philippine eVisa Portal into the app, simplifying the visa application process for tourists and supporting the countryâs tourism sector. The eGov Super App is an online one-stop shop and also facilitates local government services, such as applying for permits, certifications, and clearances. Partnerships with agencies like the Department of Health, Department of Labor and Employment, Philippine Health Insurance Corp., and Professional Regulation Commission have expanded their offerings to include resume-building tools for job seekers, eKonsulta for health benefits, and a unified travel declaration system for travelers. Almirol said the DICT is planning further collaborations with other agencies to integrate new features like citizen reporting modules, a job matching system, artificial intelligence bots, and tools to empower start-ups. To date, the DICT has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with over 50 government agencies to advance the Philippinesâ digital governance and global standing.
