Markmi Raises €1.1M to Bring AI-Powered Markdown Assistant to Fashion Retailers Across Europe and the U.S.

Published

on

GHENT, Belgium, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fashion tech startup Markmi has raised €1.1 million in seed funding to accelerate the rollout of its AI-driven markdown assistant across Belgium, the Netherlands, the Nordics, and the U.S. later this year.

Fashion retailers are under growing pressure to protect margins in a market shaped by shifting consumer behavior and rising costs. When it comes to markdowns—whether during mid-season sales, end-of-season clearances, or events like Black Friday—they can’t afford to leave money on the table. Yet many still rely on spreadsheets and gut feeling, leading to missed revenue & margin.

Markmi replaces these outdated methods with a smart, fast, and fashion-specific AI assistant. It empowers merchandising teams to make data-driven pricing decisions that increase sell-through and profitability. Customers including C&A, G-Star, Zizzi, ZEB, and Torfs have already seen 5–10% revenue growth and 2–5% margin improvements during markdown periods.

“Markdowns are one of the biggest cost lines in a fashion retailer’s P&L,” said Markus Krenn, VP & Head of Commercial Planning Europe at C&A. “Markmi has significantly reduced this cost for us.”

Founded by Laurent Mainil, whose family has deep roots in the Belgian fashion industry, Markmi emerged from firsthand experience during the pandemic, helping retailers manage inventory and hit revenue targets under pressure.

Markmi analyzes multiple scenarios in minutes, providing clear price recommendations that show the impact of different discount levels on sales, margin, and inventory. For instance, at G-Star EU, the tool ran 14.5 million calculations for its inventory in 5 days, enabling teams to select the most profitable strategy, in the blink of an eye.

The round includes backing from fashion and tech investors such as Wolf (Luc Van Mol, ex-ZEB), the Torfs family, and tech veterans Lorenz Bogaert, Matthias Geeroms, Jan Teerlinck, Roeland Delrue, Jonas Deprez, and PMV.

Looking ahead, Markmi plans to evolve into a full AI-powered pricing platform for fashion retail, expanding into areas like full-price optimization and promo management.

“Retailers worldwide face the same challenge: setting the right price at the right time,” said Mainil. “With AI, it’s no longer a guessing game; it’s a strategic advantage.”

About Markmi
Markmi is the AI-powered markdown assistant for fashion retail. It helps fashion teams make faster, smarter, and more profitable markdown decisions.

TORONTO, May 15, 2025 /CNW/ – SolarBank Corporation (Nasdaq: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) (“SolarBank” or the “Company”) reports its fiscal third quarter and fiscal 2025 interim financial results. All financial figures are in Canadian dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as presented in the interim consolidated financial statements.

Fiscal Year-to-Date Financial Highlights (All amounts are for the nine-months period ended March 31, 2025)

IPP revenue increased from $0.3 million to $6.6 million during the period.Gross profit was $5.8 million, or 19.9% of revenues, compared to $10.3 million, or 20.4% of revenues in 2024.Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $ (0.02) million compared to $2.3 million for 2024.Growth in assets increased 395% to $194 million following Solar Flow-Through Funds Ltd. Acquisition, as compared to $39.2 million at June 30, 2024.Revenues were $29.1 million compared to $50.4 million in 2024.Cash flow from operating activities was $(2.1) million compared to $10.9 million in 2024Net loss of $9 million, or $(0.29) per basic share, compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.20 per basic share in in 2024.

Corporate Third Quarter Highlights and Milestones:

The Company announced that its 3.26 MW Camillus Solar Project has been sold to, and will now be constructed for, Solar Advocate Development LLC in a transaction valued at US$7.3 million.Commenced construction on first battery energy storage (“BESS”) project in Ontario, backed by a $25.8 million Royal Bank of Canada Project Finance facility.Announced partnership with Viridi, the industry leader in fail-safe BESS, on the development of a combined 3.06 MW DC ground-mount solar power project and related 1.2 MWH BESS in Buffalo, New York.After the quarter ended announced that CIM Group (“CIM”), a real estate and infrastructure owner, operator, lender and developer, and the Company have entered into a Mandate Letter providing for up to US$100 million in project based financing for a portfolio of up to 97 MW of solar power projects located in the United States (the “CIM Transaction”).

Dr. Richard Lu, President and CEO of SolarBank commented: “SolarBank continues the growth of its independent power producer portfolio. The non-dilutive CIM transaction will provide up to US$100 million in equity capital for projects that will transform SolarBank’s independent power producer asset base, creating long term revenues for years to come. As discussed in prior quarters this strategy means less short term revenue from EPC and project sales, but will have the benefit of stable long term recurring revenues.”

(1)EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For further information and detailed reconciliations of Non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in this News Release.

The increase is principally the result of the closing of the acquisition of SFF.

Current liabilities increased from $13.4 million as of the year ended June 30, 2024, to $40.1 million in the current quarter, mainly due to an increase in trade and other payables and the short term debt.  

For complete details please refer to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and associated Management Discussion and Analysis for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, available on SEDAR+ (https://www.sedarplus.ca).

The Company notes that the execution of the Company’s growth strategy depends upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and its customers and the Company’s future success depends partly on its ability to expand the pipeline of its energy business in several key markets. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar and battery storage power, which could cause demand for the Company’s services to decline. Further the forecasted MW capacity of a solar project may not be reached. The CIM Transaction is subject to the execution of definitive documentation setting out all of the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions precedent associated with the CIM Transaction. There is a risk that definitive documentation may not be executed or that the conditions precedent to the CIM Transaction are not satisfied. In such case, no funding will be advanced under the terms of the CIM Transaction. SolarBank will also need to secure the financing required to develop the projects to mechanical completion and substantial completion, as prior to such milestone none of the funding from the CIM Transaction will be available. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the statements in this press release.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company has disclosed certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in this press, as discussed below. These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are widely reported in the renewable energy industry as benchmarks for performance and are used by management to monitor and evaluate the Company’s operating performance and ability to generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company’s performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company’s performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Non-IFRS financial measures are defined in National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”) as a financial measure disclosed that (a) depicts the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of an entity, (b) with respect to its composition, excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the entity, (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements of the entity, and (d) is not a ration, fraction, percentage or similar representation.

A non-IFRS ratio is defined by NI 52-112 as a financial measure disclosed that (a) is in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage, or similar representation, (b) has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

Income tax expense;Finance costs;Amortization and depreciation.Non-operating income or expenses;Non-recurring gains or losses;Impairment charges or reversals;Listing fees or costs related to equity offerings;Foreign exchange gains or losses

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of the Company’s ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby Adjusted EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or “EBITDA multiple” based on an observed or inferred relationship between Adjusted EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a Company. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results because it is consistent with the indicators management uses internally to measure the Company’s performance and is an indicator of the performance of the Company’s renewable energy project development and operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts. It does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined by IFRS. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently.

Bit Digital, Inc. Announces First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (the “Company”), a global platform for high-performance computing (“HPC”) infrastructure and digital asset production headquartered in New York City, today announced its financial results for the First Quarter of 2025. The Company will host a conference call on May 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET to discuss results (click here for registration information).

Financial Highlights for First Quarter of 2025

Total revenue for the First Quarter of 2025 was $25.1 million, a 17% decrease compared to the prior year’s results. The decrease was driven by a decline in Digital asset mining revenue following the April 2024 halving and partially offset by continued growth in Cloud services revenue and the addition of Colocation services revenue.Revenue from bitcoin mining was $7.8 million for the quarter, a 64% decrease compared to the prior year’s quarter. Cloud services revenue was $14.8 million, an 84% increase from the prior year’s quarter. Colocation services revenue was $1.6 million for the quarter as compared to none in the prior year’s quarter. ETH staking revenue was $0.6 million for the quarter, a 72% increase from the prior year’s quarter.Revenue from digital asset mining comprised 31% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 72% for the prior year’s quarter.The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $61.3 million, and total liquidity (defined as cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, USDC, and the fair market value of digital assets) of approximately $141.4 million, as of March 31, 2025.Total assets were $458.2 million and Shareholders’ Equity amounted to $417.4 million as of March 31, 2025.Adjusted EBITDA[1] was $(44.5) million for the First Quarter of 2025 compared to $58.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2025 includes $49.2 million in mark-to-market losses on digital assets compared to $45.7 million of gains in Q1 2024.GAAP loss per share was $(0.32) on a fully diluted basis for the First Quarter of 2025 compared to earnings per share of $0.43 for the first quarter of 2024.

Operational Highlights for First Quarter of 2025

The Company earned 83.3 bitcoins during the First Quarter of 2025, an 80% decrease from the prior year. The decline was driven by a reduction in block rewards following the halving event in April 2024, an increase in network difficulty, and a decrease in the Company’s average operational hash rate following a fleet deployment in connection with the Company’s exit from Coinmint facilities.The Company earned 211.0 ETH in native staking for the three months ended March 31, 2025.Treasury holdings of BTC and ETH were 417.6 and 24,434.2, respectively, with a fair market value of approximately $34.5 million and $44.5 million on March 31, 2025, respectively.As of March 31, 2025, we had 20,854 miners owned or operating (in Iceland) for bitcoin mining with a total maximum hash rate of 2.4 EH/s. The Company’s active hash rate of its bitcoin mining fleet was approximately 1.5 EH/s as of March 31, 2025.The Company had approximately 21,568 ETH actively staked in native staking protocols as of March 31, 2025.As of January 1, 2025, Bit Digital officially transitioned to domestic issuer status under U.S. securities law.In January 2025, the Company entered into a new agreement to supply its first customer for an additional 464 B200 GPUs for a period of eighteen months. This new agreement replaced the prior agreement whereby the Company was to provide the customer with an incremental 2,048 H100 GPUs. The contract represents approximately $15 million of annualized revenue and features a two-month prepayment from the customer. The customer has elected to defer the commencement date until August 20th, 2025, which is the latest allowable date under the agreement.In addition to the above, the Company signed multiple new cloud services agreements during the first quarter totaling more than 200 NVIDIA H200 GPUs, with contract durations ranging from one to twelve months. These deployments supported training and inference workloads and reflect continued momentum and customer diversification across the Company’s GPU cloud platform.In February, the Company officially rebranded its HPC business as WhiteFiber, Inc., encompassing its GPU cloud services and HPC data center platform, Enovum Data Centers.In February, the Company, through its high-performance computing platform WhiteFiber, secured a five-year, 5MW colocation agreement with Cerebras Systems (“Cerebras”), a leader in generative AI. In April, Bit Digital announced the selection of a new data center site in Saint-Jérôme, Québec (“MTL-3“) to fulfill the contract. The facility, being developed by Enovum under a lease-to-own structure, is expected to commence operations in July 2025, with total development costs estimated at approximately CAD $55 million (approximately $40 million USD). Cerebras holds a right of first refusal for additional capacity at the site.In March, the Company announced a strategic partnership between WhiteFiber and Shadeform, a leading multi-cloud GPU marketplace, to deliver on-demand access to NVIDIA B200 GPUs. Bit Digital received its first shipment of B200s during the quarter, comprising 64 servers (512 GPUs), and began phased deployment in April. Through the Shadeform integration, WhiteFiber’s GPU cloud became globally accessible across more than 100 regions, enabling developers and enterprises to access high-performance AI infrastructure without long-term commitmentsIn March 2025, the Company executed two new service orders under its existing agreement with Boosteroid, a global cloud gaming provider. The orders total 701 GPU servers under five-year terms, with deployments scheduled to commence in May and June 2025. These new contracts represent approximately $2.1 million in annualized contract value, bringing total contract value from Boosteroid to approximately $3.6 million annually and over $18 million in total contract value.

Subsequent Events

In April 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a data center property in Madison, North Carolina. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of an energy study verifying utility capacity. An earnest money deposit of $2.25 million was deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, of which $1.25 million is non-refundable to us.In April 2025, the Company signed two additional cloud services agreements with DNA Fund. The first agreement, commencing in early May 2025, includes 104 NVIDIA H200 GPUs under a 25-month term. The second, expected to commence in May 2025, includes 512 H200 GPUs under a 23-month term. With these additions, DNA Fund’s total contracted deployment increased to 1,192 GPUs. Combined, the agreements represent approximately $20.9 million of annualized revenue.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results were affected by mark-to-market losses on digital assets and lower bitcoin mining revenue, both of which reflect industry-wide headwinds and the strategic rebalancing of our business. We continued to make meaningful progress in scaling our infrastructure platform and diversifying our revenue streams.

Cloud services revenue increased 84% compared to the year-ago period and accounted for the majority of total revenue. Demand was driven by both long-term enterprise contracts and short-term workloads from AI-native developers. Our strategic investments in next-generation hardware and distribution partnerships, including B200 deployments and our integration with Shadeform, helped expand platform reach and customer access.

Colocation services contributed a full quarter of revenue following our acquisition of Enovum in late 2024. We expect this business line to become a major growth engine as we expand our development pipeline to meet growing customer demand.

Bitcoin mining accounted for 31% of total revenue in the quarter, down from 40% in Q4 and 72% a year ago. The decline reflects both the halving event and the ongoing redeployment of miners from Coinmint facilities, which we used as an opportunity to retire less efficient assets and reposition our fleet. While mining remains a component of our platform, we expect its contribution to continue declining over time as our infrastructure businesses grow.

Gross margins improved both sequentially and year-over-year, driven by stronger contribution from Cloud and Colocation segments and ongoing cost discipline. We ended the quarter with approximately $140 million in total liquidity and no debt, giving us the flexibility to invest in high-return initiatives.

We advanced our platform on several fronts, deploying NVIDIA B200 GPUs, expanding key customer relationships, and progressing our datacenter expansion strategy. These milestones support our roadmap and reflect our growing relevance in the AI infrastructure landscape. As we scale our platform, we remain focused on disciplined execution and long-term value creation.”

Potential adjustments are listed within the section under the header “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Form 10-Q.

Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under “Risk Factors”  Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (Annual Report). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: “We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on.” Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. The risk factor in the Form 10-K titled “If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) U.S. taxpayers who own our ordinary shares may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences” has been modified to the extent that Management has obtained a third party analysis for 2024 and does not believe that Bit Digital should be classified as a PFIC for 2024. If any material risk was to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See “Safe Harbor Statement” below.
