New York, NY - July 22, 2025 - Bonding Health, a innovative digital health company serving individuals and families impacted by ADHD, today announced the launch of its Emotional Regulation Score™, a new clinically validated feature that allows users to measure, develop, and track their ability to regulate their emotions. The new feature will launch on Friday, July 25, as part of Version 4 of the Bonding Health app, on iOS and Android. The Emotional Regulation Score™ (ERS), was developed using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) which is a well-accepted gold standard in psychological science developed by Gross & John (2003).

Addressing a Critical Need in ADHD Support Emotional regulation is one of the most substantial predictors of long-term well-being (just the mind, but the body and relationships). It has ramifications for mental clarity, physical wellness and the quality of relationships both personally and professionally. In order to make improvements in emotional regulation, it is essential to measure it, however there are few specific individuals are able to measure emotional regulation (specifically individuals with ADHD), and furthermore few practices to develop it.

Newport City Council Retains Gold Award for Armed Forces Support
Newport City Council has renewed its gold award status as part of the Ministry of Defence's employer recognition scheme (ERS). It was presented to council representatives at a reception held at the Senedd to celebrate Reserves' Day in UK Armed Forces Week. ERS encourages employers to support the UK defence forces and inspire other organisations to do the same. Councillor Mark Spencer, Cabinet member for communities and sport and champion for the armed forces and veterans, said he was very proud the council had retained its gold status. 'Newport City Council has a long-standing and established tradition of supporting our employees who have served their country and those who still do as reserves,' he said. 'To maintain our gold award, we had to show our commitment in several ways including signing the Armed Forces Covenant. We first did this in 2012 and then reaffirmed our support in 2016 and 2023 when we hosted National Armed Forces Day. 'We were also able to demonstrate that we have forces-friendly policies as part of our recruitment and selection processes and proactively support our reservists and Cadet Force volunteers. 'The council has always held our forces in high esteem, both veterans and those still serving. We regularly take part in, or help to organise, events to commemorate and thank them including the recent raising flag raising at the Civic Centre to mark Armed Forces Week and giving the Royal British Legion the Freedom of the City.'

Custom Truck One Source's Q1 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions
Custom Truck One Source's first quarter drew a negative market reaction as revenue growth fell short of Wall Street's expectations. Management attributed the slower top-line growth to ongoing economic uncertainty and shifting customer preferences, particularly as some customers deferred equipment purchases in favor of rentals. CEO Ryan McMonagle highlighted robust demand in the company's core utility end markets, stating, 'Average utilization in the quarter was just under 78%, up 440 basis points versus Q1 of last year,' reflecting continued strength in the rental segment. However, softness among smaller customers and margin pressure from product mix weighed on results. Is now the time to buy CTOS? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $422.2 million vs analyst estimates of $435.5 million (2.7% year-on-year growth, 3% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.05 vs analyst estimates of -$0.05 (in line) Adjusted EBITDA: $73.43 million vs analyst estimates of $78.2 million (17.4% margin, 6.1% miss) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $2.02 billion at the midpoint EBITDA guidance for the full year is $380 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $375.9 million Operating Margin: 2.9%, down from 4.5% in the same quarter last year Backlog: $420.1 million at quarter end Market Capitalization: $1.11 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Nicole Sheree (Deutsche Bank): Asked what underpins confidence in accelerating revenue growth for the rest of the year. CEO Ryan McMonagle pointed to strong rental growth in ERS, a rebound in TES order flow, and a historically stronger second half for sales. Nicole Sheree (Deutsche Bank): Inquired if federal infrastructure spending pauses might delay TES demand. McMonagle responded that current backlog and customer conversations show no sign of project delays, and noted the rental model provides flexibility if purchasing is deferred. Tami Zakaria (JPMorgan): Sought detail on inventory increases and tariff mitigation. McMonagle explained inventory was pulled forward to offset potential price hikes, and that supplier relationships and sourcing adjustments help manage tariff risks. Tami Zakaria (JPMorgan): Asked whether inventory reduction would be linear or back-end weighted. McMonagle stated reductions would be more heavily weighted to the second half of the year, following earlier inventory builds. Brian Brophy (Stifel): Queried about ERS rental rate trends and TES gross margin outlook. CFO Chris Eperjesy said rental yields remained steady, with limited upside, and TES margins are expected to remain in the 15–18% range, impacted by product mix and customer composition. In the coming quarters, our analysts will be tracking (1) the pace at which TES backlog converts into equipment sales and margin recovery, (2) the ability to maintain high utilization rates in the rental fleet amid shifting customer demand, and (3) updates on tariff impacts and inventory normalization. We will also monitor progress toward free cash flow generation and leverage reduction targets. Custom Truck One Source currently trades at $4.92, up from $4.01 just before the earnings.
