Pizza Hut to open branch in Bahrain as part of Opportunity4All initiative
Pizza Hut and Americana Restaurants have inaugurated Bahrain's first restaurant staffed entirely by team members with hearing and speech impairments. This initiative is part of the country's Opportunity4All programme, which seeks to foster empowering workplaces for those described as "People of Determination" - a term used in Bahrain to refer to individuals with disabilities. The country is committed to ensuring their inclusion and equal opportunities through initiatives and programmes. Pizza Hut MEA [Middle East and Africa] people and culture director Ayanda Moropane stated: 'Pizza Hut is a people-first company that strives to make a positive impact in the communities we serve, and we are proud to support a program that enables employability for People of Determination.'

They are supported by managers who possess sign language skills and utilise alternative communication tools to ensure smooth operations and effective day-to-day interactions with customers. Americana Restaurants has introduced the Sign & Smile card, an interactive tool that includes key sign language phrases. This development aligns with the Kingdom of Bahrain's Vision 2030 and National Disability Strategy, which focus on promoting economic inclusion, equal opportunity, and the active participation of People of Determination in society. Sheldon Williams, general manager of Pizza Hut at Americana Restaurants, stated: 'This is more than a store opening - it's a bold step toward transforming how our industry thinks about creating opportunities for all.

Ford reports net loss of $36m in Q2 2025
Ford has disclosed its financial outcomes for the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, revealing a net loss of $36m, mainly due to special charges and electric vehicle programme cancellation costs. For the second quarter, Ford reported total revenue of $50.2 billion, a 5% increase from the second quarter of 2024. Despite this, the company's adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) stood at $2.14bn (£2.8bn last year Q2), with $0.8bn in adverse tariff-related impacts. Ford noted that looking ahead, it has adjusted its full-year 2025 outlook, now expecting an adjusted EBIT of $6.5bn to $7.5bn, including about $2bn in net 'tariff-related headwinds', and aims to generate $3.5bn to $4.5bn in adjusted free cash flow. These projections are a revision from the initial guidance provided in February and the subsequent withdrawal in May due to tariff uncertainties. The updated guidance mirrors 'strong' performance across Ford's divisions and continued cost improvements. The net tariff-related headwind is a result of a $3bn gross adverse EBIT impact, mitigated by $1bn from recovery actions, Ford estimates. The operational cash flow for the quarter was substantial, at $6.3bn, with an adjusted free cash flow of $2.8bn. By the end of the quarter, Ford's cash reserves were $28.4bn, with liquidity at $46.6bn. The company also announced a Q3 regular dividend of 15 cents per share, set to be paid on 2 September to shareholders on record as of 11 August. Ford Pro reported $2.3bn in EBIT with a 12.3% margin on $18.8bn in revenue. Software and services are said to have contributed significantly to Ford Pro's EBIT, with paid subscriptions growing 24% year-over-year (YoY) to 757,000. However, Ford's EV division - Model e - faced challenges, reporting a Q2 EBIT loss of $1.3bn, marking an $179 m increase in losses from the previous year quarter. The results were affected by net tariff-related expenses, investments in electric vehicles, and costs from the new battery plant launch in Marshall, Michigan, US. The segment's doubled revenue to $2.4bn was overshadowed by flat EBIT performance YoY for its first-generation products, the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, when excluding tariff impacts. Ford Blue posted $661m in EBIT, highlighting profitable market share gains and 'higher' net pricing, although these were offset by tariff-related issues and a decline in segment revenue by 3% to $25.8bn. Ford Credit's performance was significant, with an 88% increase in Q2 earnings before taxes compared to the prior year. Ford CFO Sherry House said: 'We recorded our fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year cost improvement, excluding the impact of tariffs, building on progress we made last year when we closed roughly $1.5 billion of our competitive cost gap in material cost. 'Our balance sheet keeps getting stronger, further enabling our ability to invest in areas of strength. We are remaking Ford into a higher-growth, higher-margin and more durable business – and allocating capital where we can compete, win and grow.'
