Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

Condensed consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with US GAAP (“GAAP”) as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement our condensed consolidated financial results. Lucid’s non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders, and Free Cash Flow, which are discussed below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders before (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation, (6) restructuring charges, (7) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (8) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (9) change in fair value of derivative liabilities associated with redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (10) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party). Lucid believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to Lucid’s management and investors about Lucid’s financial performance.

Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders excluding (1) stock-based compensation, (2) restructuring charges, (3) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (4) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (5) change in fair value of derivative liabilities associated with redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (6) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party).

Lucid defines and calculates Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders as Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders divided by weighted-average shares outstanding attributable to common stockholders.

Lucid believes that Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders financial measures provide investors with useful information to evaluate performance of its business excluding items not reflecting ongoing operating activities.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. Lucid believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to Lucid’s management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures.

These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Lucid’s historical performance. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting, and financial planning purposes. Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to Lucid’s investors regarding measures of our financial condition and results of operations that Lucid uses to run the business and therefore allows investors to better understand Lucid’s performance. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under GAAP when understanding Lucid’s operating performance. In addition, other companies, including companies in Lucid’s industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Lucid’s non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is presented below.

MUMBAI, India, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GoSchool, a progressive international online school, is breaking new ground to ensure that every child, irrespective of their learning needs, has access to high-quality education. Serving students with ADHD, high-functioning autism, dyslexia, and physical disabilities, GoSchool’s inclusive approach fosters a nurturing, personalized, and adaptable learning environment.

In today’s fast-paced world, traditional schools often struggle to meet the unique requirements of students with special learning needs. GoSchool’s innovative online platform offers a supportive and flexible learning space that empowers these students to reach their fullest potential.

Why GoSchool is the Ideal Choice:

Children with special learning needs often face significant challenges in traditional classroom settings, from difficulties in social interactions and sensory processing to the need for tailored educational approaches. GoSchool addresses these challenges through a variety of innovative solutions:

Specialized Teachers and Support Staff

This approach is especially beneficial for children with autism or social anxiety, who may find in-person interactions challenging.Small Class Sizes for Personalized Attention
GoSchool maintains small class sizes to ensure each student receives individualized attention.

Despite its inclusive and personalized approach, GoSchool adheres to the highest academic standards. Affiliated with Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel, GoSchool offers a rigorous curriculum designed to prepare students for academic success, college readiness, and lifelong learning. The curriculum is structured to deliver a robust educational experience while allowing flexibility in teaching methods for students who require additional support.An Ideal Alternative to Homeschooling
GoSchool provides the best of both worlds: the flexibility and one-on-one support often found in homeschooling, combined with the academic rigor, structure, and social interaction opportunities of an international school. This unique approach makes GoSchool an excellent option for parents seeking more than a traditional or home-based education.

A Commitment to Individual Growth and Excellence

By blending technology, specialized teaching methods, and a supportive community, GoSchool aims to redefine inclusive education. With a curriculum designed to promote both academic achievement and personal growth, GoSchool equips students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in today’s world.

Global Battery Alliance Unveils Results of Wave Two Battery Passport Pilots, Two CATL Programs Included

Published

on

By

NINGDE, China, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Battery Alliance (GBA) today successfully unveiled the results of the 2024 Battery Passport pilots during the Annual General Meeting, hosted in Shanghai and Ningde. Ten consortia, led by the world’s leading battery cell manufacturers, successfully completed the largest pre-competitive effort to establish harmonized battery passport. As a member of the GBA, CATL supported this initiative by leading two pilot projects for its Shenxing and CTP batteries, achieving a new milestone towards more transparent and sustainable battery value chains.

In January 2023, GBA published the world’s first battery passport proof of concept in Davos, Switzerland during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. Building on the successful launch in 2023, the consortia worked with seven digital solution providers to determine the provenance and flow of seven materials: lithium, graphite (artificial), aluminum, cobalt, copper, iron phosphate, and nickel.

Aligning with existing regulations and voluntary standards, seven rulebooks were developed through a multi-stakeholder process by the GBA, including Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Biodiversity, and Circular Design.

With separate passports for its Shenxing and CTP batteries, CATL was one of the first companies to share its results from the pilots with data verification by independent agencies. This achievement reaffirms CATL’s commitment to providing customers with sustainable and high-quality battery solutions. With an overall carbon footprint of 49 kgCO2eq/kwh across both pilots, CATL demonstrated its dedication to reducing emissions throughout the battery lifecycle. Furthermore, strong performance across all battery passport criteria highlights CATL’s commitment to transparency, traceability, and environmental responsibility. By prioritizing sustainability, CATL aims to deliver value to customers while contributing to a greener future.

CATL remains committed to the development of GBA battery passports as a tool to enhance product transparency, safety, and sustainability. This initiative aligns with CATL’s sustainable development vision, promoting transparency in product carbon footprint and ESG performance. By participating in the GBA battery passport development and advocacy, CATL aims to contribute to the establishment of global standards for battery industry sustainability, bridging regulatory gaps and fostering a greener future.

Beyond battery passports, CATL strives to actively contribute towards the development of industry standards and best practices. The company’s nine carbon-neutral factories and innovative tools like CCMS and CREDIT demonstrate its dedication to reducing its environmental footprint.

Commenting on the launch, Inga Petersen, Executive Director of the GBA said: “We are thrilled with the results of the 2024 Battery Passport pilots and congratulate all participating organisations for this major achievement. Having the world’s leading cell manufacturers mobilize their supply chains, work pre-competitively and report on harmonised sustainability expectations represents an unprecedented commitment to greater transparency and sustainability in the battery industry as captured in the 2030 GBA Vision.”

Jiang Li, Vice President and Board Secretary of CATL, said: “The future of the battery industry lies in collaborative efforts to ensure sustainability and circularity. CATL is proud to be at the forefront of these efforts. Through our participation in the Battery Passport initiative and our active engagement in the GBA, we are shaping a more sustainable future for the battery sector.”

Aulisa® Medical Expands Access with New Leasing Options for Procuring Advanced Monitoring Solutions

Published

on

By

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aulisa® Medical USA, Inc., a leader in FDA-cleared, wearable, wireless continuous vital sign monitoring technology, proudly announces the launch of flexible leasing options for its state-of-the-art monitoring solutions. This strategic move underscores Aulisa’s mission to bring the latest in healthcare technology to more providers and settings, ensuring that patient care remains efficient, effective, and accessible.

In today’s healthcare landscape, staying at the forefront of medical technology is essential for providing high-quality patient care. Yet, budget constraints and high upfront costs can make this challenging for many hospitals, clinics, and specialized care facilities. Aulisa’s new leasing plans are designed to provide easy and flexible financing alternatives for healthcare facilities to acquire advanced Aulisa® Guardian Angel monitoring solutions without financial strain. By offering these options, Aulisa helps providers maintain optimal care standards while managing expenses more efficiently.

“Offering leasing options is a natural extension of our commitment to enhancing patient safety and supporting healthcare professionals,” said Augustine (Augie) Lien, founder and CEO of Aulisa Medical USA, Inc. “We want to remove the barriers that prevent facilities from accessing the tools they need to deliver exceptional care. By easing financial constraints, we empower providers to stay equipped with cutting-edge technology that can make a real difference in patient outcomes.”

Comprehensive Monitoring Solutions for Every Patient-care Setting
Aulisa’s Guardian Angel® CMPM (Centralized Multiple Patient Monitoring) System has set a high standard in patient monitoring by delivering real-time data on oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and body temperature. Now available with flexible leasing options, this system provides unparalleled support to healthcare professionals who need to monitor multiple patients simultaneously, improving workflow efficiency and responsiveness in critical care settings like ICUs and NICUs.

Key Advantages of Leasing Equipment for Healthcare Facilities
Leasing Aulisa’s advanced monitoring systems presents numerous advantages that resonate with the needs of healthcare facilities. Monthly leasing plans allow institutions to allocate funds more efficiently by spreading out costs, avoiding significant upfront expenditures. This model provides financial predictability, as fixed rates prevent budget surprises and enable better long-term planning. Additionally, leasing offers the flexibility to upgrade equipment during the lease term, ensuring that facilities continue to benefit from the latest advancements without the burden of repurchasing.

The immediate access to new technology that leasing offers can enhance patient care significantly. Facilities can implement state-of-the-art monitoring systems quickly, supporting faster and more informed decision-making in patient treatment. Leasing also provides potential tax benefits, as lease payments may be deductible and can improve cash flow by preserving existing lines of credit for other critical investments.

Commitment to Innovation and Accessibility
Aulisa’s introduction of leasing options reaffirms its dedication to innovation and the accessibility of critical monitoring technology. From hospital ICUs and NICUs to specialized clinical settings, Aulisa’s FDA-cleared solutions are designed to ensure reliable, high-quality patient monitoring that healthcare providers can trust.
