'In the first quarter of 2025, the Company continued to build on the transformative progress of 2024. We delivered further improvements across several key metrics including gross margins and cash flow from operations, extended agreements with several multinational enterprises, successfully launched Fleet Rocket, and introduced our advanced AI-powered Tendering Bot. Despite initial headwinds from a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic trade environment, we were able to progress the profitability of the brokerage business and advance our solution set. We remain focused on our mission and commitment to leading digital logistics innovation,' said Javier Selgas, CEO of Fr8Tech.
Business Highlights
Launched Fleet Rocket, a cost-effective Transportation Management System (TMS) software solution to optimize freight brokerage and shipping operations.
Released several new features and capabilities to Fr8App and Fr8Fleet including: AI-powered Tending Bot; mobile app for dispatchers; new tracking integrations with GPS providers and facility locations; attendance control; WhatsApp notifications updates; multi-stop documentation; and additional integrations with customer platforms.
Started the Fr8Tech AI Lab in collaboration with the University of Monterrey to sustain ongoing development of AI-based technologies to transform logistics operations.
Purchased $5.2 million of FET tokens to initiate a cryptocurrency treasury and to collaborate with the Fetch Foundation to accelerate AI-driven product developments.
Financial Highlights
Gross margin percentage increased 7.0% year-over-year to 12.4% in Q1 2025 from 5.4% in Q1 2024, as the Company remained focused on profitable routes in the cross-border and domestic spot markets and realized efficiencies in its dedicated services.
Cash flow from operations improved by $0.2 million year-over-year to ($3.1) million in Q1 2025 from ($3.3) million in Q1 2024 primarily due to improved margins.
Net loss improved year-over-year by $0.7 million to ($1.6) million in Q1 2025 from ($2.3) million in Q1 2024, on higher gross margins percentage and lower operating expenses.
2025 Annual Outlook
Primarily as a result of the expected economic impact of higher tariffs on US-Mexico cross border trade, the Company is lowering the high-end of its revenue and margin outlook for 2025. The Company believes it can recover most, if not all, cross-border volume with domestic shipments across Fr8App and Fr8Fleet, but remains cautious given the current uncertainty surrounding official trade policy between the two countries. Revised outlook for 2025 is:

5E Advanced Materials Progresses Commercial Strategy with 14 Customers Successfully Qualified and Growing Pipeline
A highly reputable national and multinational customer base across eight market segments reinforces the quality of 5E's boric acid and reflects changing global supply-demand dynamics HESPERIA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2025 / 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq:FEAM)(ASX:5EA), a boron and lithium company with U.S. government Critical Infrastructure designation for its 5E Boron Americas (Fort Cady) Complex, announced today that 14 customers have successfully qualified 5E's boric-acid product. Additional customers have requested product or are in advanced phases of the testing process. Customers that have qualified our product represent a diverse group of industries and market segments such as specialty glass, textile fiberglass, ceramics, insulation, agriculture, defense and chemicals. Testing programs to date have included laboratory evaluation, field trials, and truckload-scale shipments. This progress supports the Company's strategy to build a multi-market customer base across multiple high value sectors. "We view 2025 as a pivotal year of inflection whereby the boron market will begin to see a deficit in supply, and reliable product in the boron market is expected to become scarce and in short supply. This has been reinforced by the number of customers that have successfully qualified our product. We continue to see strong interest from customers seeking high-purity, U.S. based boron supply and are encouraged by our qualification progress to date," said Paul Weibel, Chief Executive Officer of 5E Advanced Materials. "These customer qualifications underscore our commitment to delivering a secure, U.S.-based source of high-purity boron supply for industries that are central to U.S. priorities and bolster the U.S. industrial base. Of significant importance, I am incredibly proud of 5E's team for successfully passing three LCD glass manufacturers initial product testing protocol as this market segment has some of the most difficult quality requirements across the globe." The Company believes this progress highlights its continued momentum toward building commercial relationships and advancing its operational and strategic objectives. About 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: FEAM) (ASX:5EA) is focused on becoming a vertically integrated global leader and supplier of boron specialty and advanced materials, complemented by lithium co-product production. The Company's mission is to become a supplier of these critical materials to industries addressing global decarbonization, food and domestic security. Boron and lithium products will target applications in the fields of electric transportation, clean energy infrastructure, such as solar and wind power, fertilizers, and domestic security. The business strategy and objectives are to develop capabilities ranging from upstream extraction and product sales of boric acid, lithium carbonate and potentially other co-products, to downstream boron advanced material processing and development. The business is based on our large domestic boron and lithium resource, which is located in Southern California and designated as Critical Infrastructure by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Premier, Inc. Expands Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Capabilities with Acquisition of IllumiCare
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Premier, Inc. (NASDAQ: PINC), a leading technology-driven healthcare performance improvement company, today announced the acquisition of IllumiCare, a healthcare technology firm known for its EMR-agnostic platform. The platform marries clinical and financial data at the point of care to help providers make the best possible clinical decisions at the best possible cost. The acquisition significantly expands Premier's reach in the clinical decision support (CDS) space. Already used by over 82,000 providers, including independent physicians and ambulatory networks, the IllumiCare platform is compatible with more than 50 EMR systems used across the care continuum. Headquartered in Birmingham, AL, IllumiCare has developed a strong reputation for enabling better clinical decisions by surfacing real-time data on treatment costs. IllumiCare's flagship product defines inpatient medication and diagnostic use that is unlikely to have clinical benefit based on established medical standards. It then attributes the provider's actual supply cost to the ordering provider. By defining low-value care and making real costs transparent, IllumiCare facilitates upstream interventions in formulary and order sets while hyper-targeting 'nudges' to clinicians at the point of care. 'Hospitals are battling rising costs and shrinking margins,' said David Zito, Premier's President of Performance Services. 'IllumiCare's real-time cost attribution capabilities will be a game changer, differentiating Premier in a competitive CDS market with a smarter, more robust CDS solution. 'Together, we can help create financial efficiencies for virtually any provider, in any clinical setting, while helping them deliver care that is better and safer for patients.' IllumiCare's capabilities complement Premier's existing CDS technology, expanding the company's ability to help health systems and clinically integrated networks close care gaps, improve coding accuracy, support outpatient risk capture, optimize clinical trial recruitment and succeed in value-based payment models. Premier will begin marketing the acquired solution under Premier's Stanson Health brand this summer. The company will debut the acquired capabilities of the combined solution at its annual Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition, held July 15-17 in National Harbor, MD. 'This is about more than technology — it's about delivering real value to clinicians,' said G.T. LaBorde, Chief Executive Officer, IllumiCare. 'We want providers focused on the patient, while technology works behind the scenes to point out the ancillary effects of choices when they are directly relevant. Our combined solution will offer providers a more robust, turnkey solution with a demonstrated return on investment of up to 10 to one.' Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Premier, Inc. Forward-Looking Statements Statements made in this release that are not statements of historical or current facts, including but not limited to those related to Premier's ability to advance its business strategies and improve healthcare, the intended or expected performance or utility of Premier's and the acquired IllumiCare products and services, the ability to combine and market the acquired IllumiCare products and services with Premier's products and services and the potential for the combined solution to provide a competitive advantage in the CDS market, the potential for the IllumiCare acquisition to unlock growth opportunities for Premier, and the other expected benefits of the IllumiCare acquisition, are 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause performance or achievements to be materially different from historical results or from any future results or projections expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. More information on risks and uncertainties relating to Premier and its products and services is included from time to time in the 'Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,' 'Risk Factors,' and 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations' sections of Premier's periodic and current filings with the SEC, which are also made available on Premier's website at Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Premier undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events that occur after that date, or otherwise.
