  • SMX Paves a Unified Path to Success as UN Plastics Treaty Talks Work Toward Solutions (NASDAQ: SMX)

    SMX Paves a Unified Path to Success as UN Plastics Treaty Talks Work Toward Solutions (NASDAQ: SMX)

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / This month’s United Nations plastics treaty talks have captured global attention. The Guardian, Channel NewsAsia, and Reuters have all highlighted the scale and significance of the negotiations and the complexity of balancing environmental ambition with economic realities. Delegates, industry representatives, NGOs, and policymakers have brought forward deeply held convictions about the best way to protect the planet while preserving livelihoods.

    From calls for ambitious production caps and chemical phase-outs to proposals emphasizing voluntary targets and flexibility, each position reflects a personal truth shaped by experience, expertise, and responsibility. These differences are not obstacles to overcome; they are the very fabric of an inclusive global conversation. The opportunity now is to ensure that whatever is decided, every stakeholder can leave the conference confident that progress will be measurable, transparent, and grounded in gains in material efficiency.

    SMX (Security Matters) (NASDAQ:SMX) offers a unique and unifying contribution. Rather than advocating for one side of the debate, SMX provides the tools to make any chosen path verifiable and equitable, ensuring that progress is real, recognized, and rewarded while enabling material efficiency to be tracked and proven at every stage of the plastics life cycle.

    Building on the Foundation Already Laid

    Keep in mind, the treaty discussions are not starting from a blank slate. Every action to date, from scientific research and corporate initiatives to grassroots campaigns, has strengthened the foundation for meaningful change and reinforced the value of material efficiency as a cornerstone of progress.

    SMX’s role is to build on and amplify that progress. Its technology embeds invisible, immutable molecular markers into materials at the point of manufacture, creating a secure digital passport that records each material’s origin, composition, and journey from production through use, recovery, and reuse. This technology does more than track; it optimizes reuse, minimizes waste, and delivers measurable gains in material efficiency.

    For NGOs such as WWF and the Plastic Pollution Coalition, this means advocacy grounded in verifiable facts. For regulators, it enables unbiased enforcement without adding friction. For brands, it provides proof that sustainability commitments, including gains in material efficiency, are being met. And for the public, it delivers assurance that progress is genuine.

    Know this: the power of SMX’s technology is not in replacing what has already been built, but in strengthening its successes and transforming fragmented reporting into a cohesive global network of truth and performance, all made possible by enabling material efficiency. It’s the foundational piece of technology that everyone can use and benefit from. It picks no sides. Instead, it’s a common foundation in a bridge to the next essential step: aligning ambition, accountability, and advantage across all participants.

    Aligning Ambition, Accountability, and Advantage

    The best news so far is that, regardless of how they plan to achieve it, participants in the treaty talks share a strong commitment to reducing plastic waste, even when their approaches differ. Some countries and organizations prioritize rapid, mandatory cuts, while others focus on scalable, market-driven solutions. Others emphasize scalable, market-driven solutions. Both approaches carry merit, and both deserve a framework that makes results transparent and universally recognized.

    SMX can offer that by bridging differing perspectives by adding an economic dimension to verified progress through its Plastic Cycle Token (PCT). When recycled content and responsible practices are authenticated in the SMX system, they are rewarded with measurable, tradable value. These tokens can be used as sustainability credits or converted into direct economic benefit, effectively monetizing gains in material efficiency.

    This transforms verification from an administrative requirement into a shared asset. Nations can prove and monetize their circular practices. NGOs can use hard data to encourage further ambition. Businesses can see their sustainability investments directly reflected in market value. And policymakers can uphold treaty commitments with a mechanism that works across diverse economic systems.

    Everyone Participates; With SMX, Everyone Wins

    Best said, the SMX platform allows every stakeholder to participate in a way that respects their priorities while contributing to a shared global outcome. It does not require compromise on values. Instead, SMX offers a platform where values and material efficiency can be proven, celebrated, and rewarded.

    In a week where headlines have focused on the complexity of the treaty process, SMX’s technology offers a timely reminder that solutions exist that honor all perspectives, build on the work already done, and turn intent into measurable, lasting results. This is more than a tool-it is a generational solution capable of equitably resolving debates that have spanned decades. SMX needs no translator, works seamlessly across continents, and thrives in the diversity of opinion the treaty process brings together.

    Yes, debates can generate middle ground, but only solutions create outcomes. With that in mind and before the UN adjourns, someone should place a call to SMX. They may find that this debate can be equitably settled, with all sides getting much of what they want.

  • SafeHeal(R) Receives European Marketing Approval Under MDR for Colovac(R) Anastomosis Protection Technology

    SafeHeal(R) Receives European Marketing Approval Under MDR for Colovac(R) Anastomosis Protection Technology

    Marketing approval allows imminent commercialization of the Colovac device in key EU markets

    PARIS, FRANCE AND TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / SafeHeal®, a leading innovator in the field of colorectal cancer surgery, today announced that it has been granted European Union marketing approval for its Colovac device under the new Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745, Medical Devices, Annex IX Chapter I). This significant milestone confirms the company’s compliance with the EU’s rigorous safety and performance standards, enabling commercial distribution of Colovac across the European Union. Colovac is intended as an alternative to temporary diverting ostomy for patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection.1,2

    “This is a pivotal achievement for our company and a testament to the dedication of our regulatory, clinical, and engineering teams,” said Chris Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of SafeHeal. “We are now ready to bring the clinical and economic benefits of Colovac to healthcare providers and patients throughout Europe.”

    The Colovac endoluminal bypass system is a less-invasive alternative to temporary diverting ostomy, the current standard of care for patients undergoing colorectal resection. Diverting ostomy is applied prophylactically to most patients today undergoing a low anterior resection (LAR) and anastomosis. The ostomy temporarily diverts the stool away from the healing anastomosis to the outside of the body and into an ostomy bag. In most cases, the ostomy is needed only until the anastomosis has healed, and then it can be reversed, typically after 2-6 months. The eventual reversal of the ostomy requires another operation, with a second hospital stay, recovery period and associated complications. In some cases, the ostomy may not be reversed and becomes permanent. In addition to the potential surgical complications associated with ostomy procedures, patients may experience an impact to their quality of life due to social isolation, reduced physical activity and/or intimacy.

    Colovac is an alternative to diverting ostomy, designed to eliminate the need for a temporary stoma in most patients. It aims to improve patient recovery and quality of life by eliminating stoma related complications including permanent stoma and eliminating the physical and emotional burden associated with stoma management and care.

    “Navigating the MDR process is no small feat for any company, and gaining approval affirms the strength of our technology and the robust data supporting it. After conducting a thorough review of the data supporting the performance and safety of the device and SafeHeal’s quality management system, the EU Medical Device regulators wasted no time in recognizing the obvious clinical benefits Colovac provides to colorectal cancer patients,” said Richardson.

    Colovac has been successfully studied in the U.S., Europe, and Asia and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already granted the product Breakthrough Device Designation. Breakthrough Device designation is granted to novel products and allows FDA to expedite the review of innovative technologies that can improve the lives of people with life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions.

    1 Intended Purpose: The Colovac Anastomosis Protection Device is intended for use in patients requiring low anterior rectal anastomoses to limit stoma creation to only those patients requiring more time for anastomosis healing when the device is removed, allowing patients with a healed anastomosis to avoid stoma creation.

    2 Indication for Use: The SafeHeal Colovac Device is indicated for use following open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted laparoscopic colorectal surgery in patients indicated for diverting ostomy.

    ###

    ABOUT SAFEHEAL®
    SafeHeal SAS, headquartered in Paris, France, and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, SafeHeal Inc., is a medical device company developing Colovac, a device intended as an alternative to diverting ostomy in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Colovac is a flexible endoluminal bypass sheath designed to reduce the contact of fecal content at the anastomotic site following colorectal surgery. The device is placed endoluminally and is fully reversible. The device remains in place for approximately 10 days, until the body’s natural healing and tissue repair processes are complete, after which it is removed during an endoscopic procedure without the need for a second surgical intervention. This enables patients to resume their normal life without the stigma and complications associated with an ostomy procedure. In the U.S., Colovac is limited by Federal law to investigational use and not currently available for sale. For more information, please visit www.safeheal.com.

Additional services highlighted include employment contract and severance agreement review and representation for violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act and California Family Rights Act.

    Lex Wire Journal’s coverage notes that the Pomona and San Gabriel Valley region has experienced significant economic activity in healthcare, education, logistics, retail, and service industries, creating diverse employment law challenges. Recent California labor statistics show an uptick in discrimination and wage-related filings in the region, making the launch of a dedicated employment law firm particularly timely.

    The Lex Wire Journal feature highlights Black Knight Employment Law’s planned workplace rights workshops throughout Pomona and surrounding San Gabriel Valley communities. The educational programming will cover identifying unlawful termination practices, understanding California wage statement requirements, documenting workplace harassment effectively, and navigating family and medical leave requests.

    According to the Lex Wire Journal report, the firm is developing partnerships with local advocacy organizations to expand community outreach and worker education initiatives.

    The Lex Wire Journal article details how Black Knight Employment Law integrates secure online platforms for document sharing, case status updates, and evidence review.

    2025 SECOND QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:

    • Net Prescription Products Revenue: The combined net revenue for the Company’s prescription products (Mytesi®, Gelclair®, and Canalevia®-CA1) was approximately $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of approximately 36% over the combined net revenue in the first quarter of 2025, which totaled approximately $2.2 million, and an increase of approximately 10% over the combined net revenue for the second quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.7 million.

    • Cost of Product Revenue: Total cost of product revenue increased by approximately $0.1 million, from $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, due to increased sales of Mytesi.

    • Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.4 million, from $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the conclusion of the Phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, which reduced trial-related contract manufacturing services and regulatory activities.

    • Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense increased by approximately $1.0 million, from $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to $2.5 million during the same quarter in 2025. The increase in expense was mostly due to headcount and promotional activities related to commercialization of Gelclair, which began in the end of 2024.

    • General and Administrative: The G&A expense increased by approximately $0.4 million, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to $4.7 million during the same quarter in 2025, largely due to increased legal and compliance expenses.

      • Interest expense decreased by $93,000, from $108,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $15,000 income in the same period in 2025, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments designated at Fair Value Option (FVO).

      • The fair value of financial and hybrid instrument designation at FVO decreased by $0.7 million, from a loss of $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, to a loss of $1.1 million in the same period in 2025, primarily due to fair value adjustments in liability classified warrants and notes payable designated at FVO.

    Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures

    The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.

    The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses.

  • Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results; Increases 2025 Pro Forma Revenue Guidance to More Than $80M

    Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results; Increases 2025 Pro Forma Revenue Guidance to More Than $80M

    Company Reports Quarterly Revenue of $1.2 Million; Net Loss and Loss per Diluted Share of $2.2 Million and $2.13

    Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $1.7 Million Reflects 40% YOY Improvement

    TRNR held 29.6 Million FET tokens as of June 30, 2025 and 67.4 Million FET tokens as of August 13, 2025, with a value in excess of $50 million, representing the largest publicly traded AI-focused Digital Asset Treasury

    Stockholders’ Equity Was $16.3 Million at Quarter End

    2025 Pro Forma Revenue Guidance Increased to more than $80 Million, driven by Sportstech’s Stronger-Than-Expected Performance, and Fourth Quarter Profitability Guidance Reiterated

    AUSTIN, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) (“TRNR” or the “Company”), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME brands, and the pending acquirer of Sportstech, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

    Quarterly Financial Highlights

    For the quarter, TRNR reported revenue of $1.2 million, a net loss of $2.2 million – or $2.13 per diluted share – and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $1.7 million (non‑GAAP).

    Results do not include Wattbike (closed July 1, 2025) or Sportstech (pending) for the period. However, if both businesses were included in the second quarter, revenue would have been approximately $17 million.

    Digital Asset Treasury Strategy

    TRNR also closed a very significant investment in the quarter to begin to execute its Digital Asset Treasury Strategy, and was able to acquire 29.6 million FET tokens by the end of the Q2. TRNR has since completed the cumulative purchase of 67.4 million FET tokens, at an average token price of $0.70, currently worth in excess of $50 million.

    Outlook

    TRNR is increasing its full‑year 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $80 million, driven by Sportstech’s stronger-than-expected-performance, and by continued momentum across the TRNR + Wattbike platform. TRNR is also reiterating its guidance that it expects to achieve Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter.

    Sportstech

    The Sportstech acquisition continues to proceed and all parties are working to satisfy the remaining items to close the acquisition and look forward to being able to update investors with more specific guidance on the transaction as soon as possible.

    Founder and CEO Trend Ward stated: “We believe that Q2 will be the inflection point for TRNR, as we now have the largest publicly traded AI-focused Digital Asset Treasury, comprised of 67.4 million FET tokens, worth more than $50 million, and we are increasing our 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $80 million, driven by the stronger-than-expected performance of Sportstech, our pending acquisition. We closed the Wattbike acquisition right after the quarter had ended and all parties are working on completing the remaining items to close the Sportstech acquisition as soon as we can. If both acquisitions were included in the second quarter, we would have generated approximately $17 million in revenue for the quarter. We are also reiterating that we expect to be profitable in the fourth quarter. In our view, the combination of these synergistic acquisitions, along with our AI-focused Digital Asset Treasury, represents a significant opportunity for investors.”

    In compliance with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD, we announce material information to the public through a variety of means, including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), press releases, company blog posts, public conference calls, and webcasts, as well as via our investor relations website. Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we may announce information will be posted on the investor relations page on our website. The inclusion of our website address or the address of any third-party sites in this press release are intended as inactive textual references only.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.

    The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure in this press release consist of Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; (gain) loss on debt extinguishment; vendor settlements; and transaction related expenses.

    The Company believes the above adjusted financial measures help facilitate analysis of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

    • Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other expense (income), net, and provision for income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired;

    • Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and

    • Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and may also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

    Our use of Adjusted EBITDA, or any other non-GAAP financial measures we may use in the future, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows:

    • Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

    • Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment charges for fixed assets and capitalized content, and gains (losses) on disposals for fixed assets;

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (gains) losses associated with debt extinguishments.

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect losses associated with vendor settlements.

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related expenses for CLMBR acquisition and pending acquisitions of Wattbike and Sportstech.

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non cash fair value gains (losses) on convertible notes, derivatives, warrants and unrealized currency gains (losses).

    Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. For example, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. Because companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, their usefulness as comparative measures is limited. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Forward Looking Statements:

    This press release includes certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and reflect management’s assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe”, “project”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “strategy”, “future”, “opportunity”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “would”, “will be”, “will continue”, “will likely result” or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the value or potential opportunity of the digital asset treasury strategy, its value staying above $50 million, the possibility of acquiring future businesses or completing the referenced pending transactions in a timely manner or at all, the financial performance of those acquisitions and the resulting guidance of having more than $80m of pro forma revenue in 2025, achieving profitability by Q4, and the financial performance of the acquisition targets which have not been audited or reviewed by a PCAOB auditor and could vary materially (a) once that audit or review work is completed and such financials are included in the Company’s reported financials and (b) due to the effect of the exchange rates of foreign currencies which can be volatile, or that the business is at an inflection point in Q2 and that there is a significant opportunity for investors. The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the expectations and projections of the Company. Risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: demand for our products and the products of the acquisition targets if the acquisitions are completed (collectively, the “Products”); competition, including technological advances made by and new products released by our competitors and the competitors of the acquisition targets; our ability to accurately forecast consumer demand for our Products and adequately maintain our inventory; and our reliance on a limited number of suppliers and distributors for our Products. A further list and descriptions of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

    • Total revenue of approximately $4.3 million, a sequential increase of 20% from Q1 2025 and a decrease of 2% from the prior year period. The decrease in revenue is attributed to the exclusion of the Hawaii clinic (KVC) from 2025 results

    • Entered an exclusive, non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire 100% ownership interest in one animal hospital located in New Jersey. Once completed, the acquisition could potentially add up to approximately $2.0 million in (unaudited) revenue

    • Entered into a securities purchase agreement for the issuance and sale of securities for up to $10M under a new convertible preferred stock transaction. The consideration, consisting of a combination of cash and transferred securities, was valued at $1.00 per share

    • Acquired 100% ownership interest in one animal hospital located in central Florida (DeBary). The acquisition is expected to add up to approximately $1.8 million in (unaudited) revenue, and brings the Company’s Florida holdings up to 5 clinics

    • For the second quarter of 2025, total revenue was approximately $4.3 million, a decrease of 2% from the prior year period but an increase of 20% from Q1 2025. Comparable clinic revenues increased 5.7% from the prior year period.

    Second Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights

    Executive Commentary

    “During the second quarter of 2025, we started to see the rewards of our new initiatives, processes, and hard work over the past 18 months with sequential revenue growth of 20% and year over year organic growth of 5.7%.,” said Kimball Carr, Inspire ‘s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also grew our portfolio of clinics to 14 with the recently announced acquisition in Florida while significantly improving our liquidity and capital structure with the recently announced preferred stock transaction. I believe this quarter will mark the turning point for our business model and that our top line growth will accelerate going forward.

    Second Quarter 2025 Financial Overview

    All comparisons are made relative to the same period in 2024 unless otherwise stated.

    • For the second quarter of 2025, total revenue was approximately $4.3 million, a decrease of 2% from the prior year period but an increase of 20% from Q1 2025. Comparable clinic revenues increased 5.7% from the prior year period.

    • Service revenue for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $25,000 or 1%, to $3.2 million. The decrease in service revenue is mainly attributed to the exclusion of KVC from 2025 results and reduced practitioner capacity. These decreases were partially offset by the acquisition of the DeBary animal clinic during Q2 2025.

    • Product revenue for the second quarter 2025 decreased $82,000, or 7%, to $1.1 million. The overall decrease was a result of customers purchasing less products per visit and the exclusion of KVC from 2025 results partially offset by the acquisition of the DeBary animal clinic during Q2 2025.

    • Total operating expenses increased $285,000 or 5%. The increase is primarily due to increased costs of consulting agreements relating to customer outreach and public company costs.

    • Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 decreased $352,000, or 10%, to $3.0 million. The decline in net loss is primarily attributable to the reduction of interest expense and the exclusion of the operating expenses associated with KVC.

    Balance Sheet

    As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million.

    “Adding Nimbus to our lineup will be a strategic move to broaden our product portfolio and serve customers who are seeking premium day‑cruiser and weekender boats,” said Alexandre Mongeon, Co‑Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vision Marine. “Our vision is to curate the best selection of boats on the market and deliver an elevated on‑water experience. This partnership will expand our reach in Florida, leverage the sales and service capabilities of Nautical Ventures and align with our plan to build a diversified portfolio that addresses high‑margin segments. We believe it will position us to capitalize on strong consumer demand and favourable market trends, while continuing to support and grow our existing brand relationships.”

    Industry data underpins the commercial rationale for the partnership. Boating and fishing contribute roughly $1.2 trillion to the U.S. outdoor recreation economy and support more than 812,000 jobs [1]. Florida is the largest market for new powerboats, engines and accessories, generating $6.4 billion in sales in 2023, a 3.1 percent increase over the prior year [2]. The National Marine Manufacturers Association projects that new powerboat sales will rebound in 2025, with total boating expenditures expected to rise 3-5 percent above 2024’s record levels [3]. Adventure‑style boats-versatile models designed for day trips, water sports and island hopping-are among the fastest‑growing categories in recreational boating, and Nimbus’s Tender, Commuter, Weekender and Coupe series are squarely in this segment. These trends suggest a sizable and resilient addressable market for high‑quality day boats and weekenders [4].

    The Nimbus partnership is one of several initiatives Vision Marine is pursuing as it structures and expands its brand portfolio under new leadership. In June 2025, the Company acquired Nautical Ventures, a Florida‑based recreational boat dealership, marina and service provider widely recognized as one of the top networks in the United States and the number‑one Axopar dealership worldwide. Nautical Ventures operates nine high‑volume retail locations across Florida and distributes a diverse range of premium brands- including Axopar, Beneteau, Brabus, Edgewater, Highfield, NorthStar, Smokercraft, Wellcraft -serving customers from pontoons to luxury yacht owners. The acquisition created North America’s first electric boat propulsion and multi‑brand retail company, combining Vision Marine’s high‑voltage E‑Motion™ powertrain and electric boats with Nautical Ventures’ established sales and service infrastructure. Integrating Nimbus into this platform is part of a broader strategy to offer consumers the best products across propulsion types while supporting long‑term growth for all brands in the Nautical Ventures family.
