Non-IFRS Measures This press release refers to certain non-IFRS measures including Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”). Non-IFRS measures and industry metrics do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. The term EBITDA consists of net loss or gain and excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The most directly comparable measure to EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is net gain or net loss . The term EBITDA margin consists of the percentage of net loss or gain and excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. These measures, have limitations, and are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our filings on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca and posted on our website. Financial Projections The Company’s financial projections are inherently speculative and may prove to be inaccurate. Any financial projections provided in this press release have been prepared in good faith based upon the estimates and assumptions considered reasonable by management. However, projections are no more than estimates of possible events and should not be relied upon to predict the results that the Company may attain. Future oriented financial information in this press release includes statements with respect to forecasted revenues and EBITDA that are expected to be generated by the Project. There is a risk that the assumptions related to these revenue and EBITDA forecasts may not be met and that the Project will not meet the conditions to start construction. The projections are based upon several estimates and assumptions and have not been examined, reviewed or compiled by independent accountants or other third-party experts, including assumptions with respect to the anticipated expenses and future revenues from the Project. These assumptions may vary from the actual results. Accordingly, there is no assurance that future events will correspond to management’s assumptions for the Project. Any variations of actual results from projections related to the Project may be material and adverse. Future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks, as with forward-looking information generally, are, without limitation, based on the reasonable assumptions of the Company and management as at the date hereof. Our actual financial position and results of operations and the Project may differ materially from management’s current expectations and, as a result, our revenue, profitability, EBITDA may differ materially from any revenue, and profitability profiles provided in this press release. Such information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of our actual financial position or results of operations. Revolve does not provide reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as Revolve is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or number of various events that have not yet occurred, are out of Revolve’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. For these same reasons, Revolve is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

JPMorgan bullish on defence stocks: Initiates coverage on BEL, HAL, Mazagon Dock, sees up to 17% upside
The 49ers’ season is over. Ignore the nonsense being pushed about this team winning out and making the playoffs. Cue the famous Jim Mora Sr. soundbite: “Playoffs? Playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game.” And yet there is so much to play for in the season’s final five games. The beauty of the NFL is that every week, everyone is playing for their jobs. You’re either getting better or getting worse, and you don’t want to be in the latter category ahead of what should be a dramatic, resetting offseason in Santa Clara, Calif. So, in the final weeks, the young players who are now given a shot at serious playing time because of injury or a depth chart reshuffle need to point their arrows up. The older players, whose arrows might be pointing down, need to level out. Coaches have five weeks to prove they’re not this team’s problem. Oh, and then there’s the $60 million-per-season question that still needs to be answered. The 49ers brass — Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch, and CEO Jed York chief among them — have not wavered on their commitment to quarterback Brock Purdy. (By all accounts, York has not wavered on Shanahan or Lynch, either.) The money for a massive contract extension is budgeted for this upcoming offseason. But, at the risk of over-legitimizing it, the question of whether the Niners should hand Purdy that massive new contract still lingers among the fan base and the media. And it’s not just the unhinged portions of those groups pushing that idea, either. That’s not to be overlooked. As we found out with the Trey Lance draft pick, the Niners’ brass can be influenced by both fans and the media. (We’ll all take the L on that one.) So, while the money is ready, the contract hasn’t been drawn up just yet, and it’s more than fair to say that Purdy’s arrow, perhaps for the first time in his short NFL career, is pointing down. It’s on him in the final five games to flip it and make paying him a no-brainer decision for everybody. Yes, $60 million a year is an eye-watering number. Blame inflation. It seems like just yesterday that Jimmy Garoppolo signed a market-setting deal that paid him $27 million per season. Now we’re doubling it? Maybe Garoppolo isn’t the best example, but it’s easy to see why this kind of number sits wrong with so many people. However, the NFL’s salary cap — which rose 13 percent from 2023 to 2024 — has added nearly $100 million since the 49ers signed Garoppolo in 2018. And it’s not as if the importance of competent quarterbacking has diminished since then. These days, high-school quarterbacks spark eight-figure contract bidding wars. I understand the concerns about paying a quarterback top-of-the-line money for not top-of-the-line production, but not everyone gets a Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. This is a league where Dak Prescott makes $60 million per season, Tua Tagovailoa makes $53 million, Trevor Lawrence makes $55 million, and Kirk Cousins makes $45 million. The market is set. It’s not hard to figure out where Purdy fits. The 24-year-old quarterback might be having a down year, but he’s still a hell of a player. His scrambling ability is a critical reason why the Niners have not yet been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. The coaches’ All-22 film is far more forgiving of his play than the zoomed-in broadcast view. Either way, what’s the alternative to paying Purdy for the 49ers? Draft another quarterback? For every Purdy, there’s a Lance. There’s a C.J. Beathard, too. Sign 2023’s backup quarterback Sam Darnold to a short-term mid-tier deal (somewhere in the $35 million-per-year range)? In the best-case scenario, you’ll have to pay him like Purdy — more than Purdy, in fact — in a year or two. Worst-case scenario, everyone (who can be fired) is fired for letting Purdy walk out the door and not having a viable replacement. Personally, I would have no problem with delaying Purdy’s signing for as long as possible. Make him play out the fourth and final year of his rookie contract at $1.19 million, and then go full Cousins and franchise tag him once or twice. But that’s an easy tactic to take in Madden or a column. It’s a bit more challenging to pull with a quarterback you have to see every day. Nothing says “We trust you to lead this team,” like having a guy on a temp-worker contract. The word “toxic” comes to mind. The Niners believe in rewarding their best players with market-setting contracts. They should. But they should have learned a lesson from this past summer that it’s in no one’s best interest to delay that gratification. I imagine they’ll sign Purdy to his new deal shortly after the season. No fuss, no muss. The young quarterback must find a way in the final five weeks to ensure that such an agreement on his value extends beyond the team facility. ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc.

Democrat Bob Casey concedes to Republican David McCormick in Pennsylvania Senate contestPublished 5:07 pm Friday, November 22, 2024 By Jim Gazzolo At least for one day, the Cowboys found paradise to their liking. McNeese State opened play at the Paradise Jam Invitational in the U.S. Virgin Islands Friday by outgunning hot-shooting Illinois State, 76-68. The win moves McNeese State into the winners’ bracket where they will play Longwood, an 89-81 victory over Alabama-Birmingham earlier in the day. The two will meet Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Lake Charles time at the University of the Virgin Islands. ISU (3-2) will take on UAB Saturday. Senior Javohn Garcia, splitting his time between the point and shooting guard positions, led McNeese (3-2) with 16 points and seven rebounds, but it was the bench that was the difference. “Very proud of JG after a tough first half,” said McNeese head coach Will Wade. “In the second half he was tremendous.” Garcia had just three points in the opening half, hitting only one of his five shots. The Cowboy subs outscored the Redbird extras 27-13 with Sincere Parker leading the way with 13 points and DJ Richards adding 10. Of their 23 points, 19 of them came during the first half. “You have to be ready when you go in,” said Parker. “I have to do a good job seeing the game when I’m on the bench and knowing what I can do to fix things.” Brandon Murray also added 13 points while Christian Shumate finished with nine and seven rebounds for the Cowboys. “We got a lot of contributions from a lot of guys,” said Wade. “Some of our guys played better today, some of our guys will play better on Sunday. That is something you need in these tournaments.” McNeese played solid defense against an ISU team that made 20 of 40 threes in its last game. Hounding the Redbird shooters the Cowboys forced ISU into missing 15 of their 26 shots from long range. ISU also missed on 8 of 21 free throws. That helped keep them from making any real run down the stretch. The Cowboys made 20 of 26 from the free-throw line and 8 of 20 on 3-point attempts. “We were able to do that better in the second half,” said Wade. “There are still a lot of things we have to clean up but we are working on that.” The Cowboys pulled away in the second and grabbed a 62-47 lead with 11:40 remaining after two Bryant Selebangue free throws ended an 8-0 run. The Redbirds tried to claw back into the game and had the lead down to six (72-66) with 31 seconds remaining. However, Garcia and Richards hit two free throws each from there to kill any upset chances. Sophomore Ty Pence led six ISU players who scored in double digits with 14 points while Mal Poindexter finished with 13. McNeese came out shooting strong, hitting six threes in the first half to grab a 43-36 lead. The Redbirds had come into the game with the reputation of being a great shooting team from long range. The two teams played things close for the first 10 minutes then Richards got hot for the Cowboys. He went on a personal 8-0 run over a 1:31 span to give McNeese a 25-18 lead. Richards hit two threes and two free throws during that time. After the Redbirds closed the gap to two at 25-23, the Cowboys went on a 12-3 run to lead 37-26 with 3:56 left. Omar Cooper’s steal and 3-point play capped off the run. “We were able to get some stops there,” said Wade. “When we got stops and didn’t foul we were able to get our pace going.” The lead grew to 15 (43-28) with 2:08 left before the break on Parker’s running layup. However, Ty Pence scored the final eight points on two threes of his own and a pair of free throws to bring ISU to within seven to start the second half. “That was a good win against a good team from the Missouri Valley,” said Wade.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The very close election for a North Carolina Supreme Court seat heads next to a hand recount even as election officials announced a machine recount of over 5.5 million ballots resulted in no margin change between the candidates. The statewide machine recount — in which ballots were run again through tabulators — that wrapped up this week showed Democratic Associate Justice Allison Riggs with a 734-vote lead over Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin, who is a Court of Appeals judge. Most county election boards reported minor vote changes from the machine recount requested by Griffin. But State Board of Elections data showed the post-recount lead exactly the same as what Riggs held after all 100 counties fully completed their ballot canvass in November. Griffin led Riggs by about 10,000 votes on election night, but that lead dwindled and flipped to Riggs as tens of thousands of qualifying provisional and absentee ballots were added to the totals through the canvass. Griffin, who already has pending election protests challenging the validity of more than 60,000 ballots counted statewide, has asked for a partial hand-to-eye recount, which county boards will start Wednesday or Thursday. The partial hand recount applies to ballots in 3% of the voting sites in all 100 counties, chosen at random Tuesday by the state board. Once the partial recount is complete, a statewide hand recount would be ordered if the sample results differ enough from the machine recount that the result would be reversed if the difference were extrapolated to all ballots. Riggs, who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2023 and now seeks an eight-year term, again claimed victory Tuesday. In a campaign news release, spokesperson Embry Owen said Griffin “needs to immediately concede – losing candidates must respect the will of voters and not needlessly waste state resources.” Riggs is one of two Democrats on the seven-member court. Through attorneys, Griffin has challenged ballots that he says may not qualify for several reasons and cast doubt on the election result. Among them: voter registration records of some voters casting ballots lack driver's license or partial Social Security numbers, and overseas voters never living in North Carolina may run afoul of state residency requirements. State and county boards are considering the protests. Griffin's attorneys on Monday asked the state board to accelerate the matters before it and make a final ruling early next week. "Our priority remains ensuring that every legal vote is counted and that the public can trust the integrity of this election,” state Republican Party spokesperson Matt Mercer said in a news release. Final rulings by the state board can be appealed to state court. Joining Griffin in protests are three Republican legislative candidates who still trailed narrowly in their respective races after the machine recounts. The Supreme Court race and two of these three legislative races have not been called by The Associated Press. READ: The key pending legislative race is for a House seat covering Granville County and parts of Vance County. Republican Rep. Frank Sossamon trails Democratic challenger Bryan Cohn by 228 votes, down from 233 votes before the recount. Sossamon also asked for a partial hard recount in his race, which was to begin Tuesday. Should Cohn win, Republicans will fall one seat short of the 72 needed in the 120-member House to retain its veto-proof majority — giving more leverage to Democratic Gov.-elect Josh Stein in 2025. Senate Republicans already have won 30 of the 50 seats needed to retain its supermajority in their chamber. The AP on Tuesday did call another legislative race not subject to a protest, as Mecklenburg County GOP Rep. Tricia Cotham won her reelection bid over Democrat Nicole Sidman. A machine recount showed Cotham ahead of Sidman by 213 votes, compared to 216 after the county canvass. Cotham’s switch from the Democrats to the Republicans in April 2023 secured the Republicans' 72-seat veto-proof majority so that Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s vetoes could be overridden by relying solely on GOP lawmakers. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press . All rights reserved.
