Among other things, the business outlook and quotations from management in this announcement, as well as Vipshop’s strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Vipshop may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by its officers, directors, or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Vipshop’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: Vipshop’s goals and strategies; Vipshop’s future business development, results of operations and financial condition; the expected growth of the online discount retail market in China; Vipshop’s ability to attract customers and brand partners and further enhance its brand recognition; Vipshop’s expectations regarding needs for and market acceptance of flash sales products and services; competition in the discount retail industry; fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in China and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Vipshop’s filings with the SEC. All information provided in this press release is as of the date of this press release, and Vipshop does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The condensed consolidated financial information is derived from the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), except that comparative consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the period presented and the detailed footnote disclosures required by Accounting Standards Codification 270, Interim Reporting (“ASC270”) have been omitted. Vipshop uses non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders per diluted ADS, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders, and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the periods presented in this press release, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders is net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment loss (gain) and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders per diluted ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS outstanding for computing diluted earnings per ADS. Non-GAAP income from operations is income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders is non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders as a percentage of total net revenues. Free cash flow is net cash from operating activities adding back the impact from internet financing activities and less capital expenditures, which include purchase and deposits of property and equipment and land use rights. Impact from internet financing activities added back or deducted from free cash flow contains changes in the balances of financial products, which are primarily consumer financing and supplier financing that the Company provides to customers and suppliers. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment loss (gain) and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting, and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment loss (gain) and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Free cash flow enables the Company to assess liquidity and cash flow, taking into account the impact from internet financing activities and the financial resources needed for the expansion of fulfillment infrastructure, technology platform, and Shan Shan Outlets. Share-based compensation expenses have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company’s net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. One of the key limitations of free cash flow is that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Vipshop Holdings Limited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this release.

Lavie Bio Advances its Bio-Fungicide LAV321, Targeting Downy Mildew, to Pre-Commercial Stage Following Successful 2024 Field Trial Results
Published
50 seconds agoon
November 19, 2024By
LAV321demonstrated strong results in its third consecutive year of field trials in Europe
REHOVOT, Israel, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lavie Bio Ltd., a leading ag-biologicals company and subsidiary of Evogene Ltd. (Nasdaq: EVGN) (TASE: EVGN), today announced significant progress in the development of its LAV321 bio-fungicide, targeting downy mildew. Over three years of field trials across Europe, evaluating the efficacy of LAV321 in protecting crops from fungal diseases, LAV321 demonstrated an impressive average efficacy rate of 70% against downy mildew in grapes. These results lead to the decision to advance it to the last stage of product development toward commercialization.
Downy mildew is a damaging foliar disease of grapes, leading to yield losses of up to 75% in key growing areas[1]. The global fungicide market, valued at over $24.5 billion in 2024, is projected to grow to $33.27 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%[2]. As public interest in environmentally friendly farming practices rises and concerns about fungal resistance to chemical solutions increase, ag-biologicals like LAV321 are emerging as preferred solutions to address these challenges and promote sustainable agriculture.
In addition to the field trials targeting downy mildew, during 2024 Lavie Bio also conducted trials evaluating LAV321 for the control of late blight in tomato. The trials demonstrated an average efficacy rate exceeding 60%, equivalent to commonly used copper products, which LAV321 is intended to substitute. Late blight is a key disease in management of tomato and potato crops, creating an estimated $6.7 billion in global damages annually[3].
LAV321 was discovered and optimized through Lavie Bio’s Biology Driven Design (BDD) platform, powered by Evogene’s MicroBoost AI tech-engine. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into farmers’ existing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, enhancing productivity and sustainability while helping to prevent the development of resistance to conventional fungicides.
Amit Noam, Lavie Bio’s CEO, expressed his satisfaction with the announced advancement: “We are very pleased with LAV321’s performance over the last three years of our field trials, as well as in numerous trials conducted by several of our multinational partners. Our target of reaching 70% efficacy against downy mildew this year was successfully achieved, providing validation to our effective solution for key fruit and vegetable diseases, while fitting easily into current IPM practices. I am proud to announce that LAV321 has completed its development and is now entering the pre-commercial stage, with regulatory processes set to begin.”

Last month, Miami International Holdings, Inc. (MIH) announced the renaming of Minneapolis Grain Exchange, LLC (MGEX), a wholly owned subsidiary of MIH, to MIAX Futures Exchange as part of MIH’s strategy to broaden the range of futures and options products listed on the exchange, including agricultural and financial futures. The announcement came the month after MIH announced it had entered into a licensing agreement with Bloomberg Index Services Limited to develop a suite of index futures, options on futures and cash options products based on a portfolio of benchmarks.
CQG CEO Ryan Moroney said: “We’ve been delighted to work closely with MIH on the development of its new trading engine and to be among the first to enable clients to trade on the MIAX Futures Onyx platform. Our clients are already trading the Minneapolis Hard Red Spring Wheat contract on MIAX Futures and are excited to have additional financial futures products to trade in conjunction with other products on our network, utilizing the full range of CQG tools at their fingertips. We look forward to supporting the exchange to ensure that our clients have seamless access to MIAX Futures products as it transitions to the new engine.”
Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and CEO of MIH, said: “We are pleased to have CQG providing connectivity to the MIAX Futures Onyx platform as part of its expected launch in Q2 2025. CQG’s sophisticated trading infrastructure will provide its network of professional traders with direct access to our current and planned derivatives products and aligns with our strategy of expanding access to MIAX Futures through industry-leading trading platforms.”

Altair® HyperWorks® platform empowers Cleveland Golf to break free from traditional design limits
TROY, Mich., Nov. 19, 2024 /CNW/ — Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational intelligence, announced its latest collaboration with Cleveland Golf, a leading golf equipment manufacturer, on the design of the new HiBore XL Driver. With Altair’s advanced simulation and design technology, Cleveland Golf is raising the bar for golf equipment and redefining the limits of driver design.
“Altair’s technology and expertise is helping Cleveland Golf shape the future of golf – one swing at a time,” said Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer, Altair. “Technologies like simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and digital twin are opening a new world of possibilities for sports equipment manufacturers. Altair is excited to see how leading manufacturers like Cleveland Golf can use these tools to transform the way professionals and nonprofessionals alike play their favorite sports.”
Cleveland Golf utilized an array of products within the Altair® HyperWorks® platform to craft the HiBore XL, allowing the team to perform concept evaluation, rapid design exploration, physics-based simulation and optimization, and design for manufacturing. The flexibility of the Altair HyperWorks platform allowed Cleveland Golf to explore a multitude of feasible designs—an exploration that would have been impossible with physical testing alone.
“With the HiBore XL, we sought to equip players with a driver unbound by the traditional limits of shaping, delivering exciting new performance accomplishments. Altair empowered us with the technology to do just that,” said Jacob Lambeth, research engineering supervisor at Cleveland Golf. “We pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge, and today, that means embracing the market’s premier simulation and design software. Collaborating with Altair helps us innovate in brand-new ways and maintain our reputation for pushing the limits of club design.”
With the HiBore XL, Cleveland Golf’s objective was to break free from traditional geometry to achieve new combinations of performance, while still meeting United States Golf Association (USGA) club requirements. Altair HyperWorks provided the team with the advanced design and simulation tools needed to rapidly iterate and unlock new levels of performance. In addition, the two organizations co-created a custom ribbing optimization process that helped Cleveland Golf find rib configurations that increased the HiBore XL’s stiffness while saving weight. The process helped the Cleveland Golf team enhance the club’s sound and improve its center of gravity and moment of inertia (MOI).
The HiBore XL is a testament to the effectiveness of Altair’s best-in-class technology and the strength of the collaboration with the Cleveland Golf engineering team. By combining Cleveland Golf’s vision and know-how with Altair’s technology, expertise, and value-driven approach, the two built more than a driver – they built an innovative approach for success.
