Industrial 3-axis accelerometer has high offset stability
BUSINESS WIRE)--Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) has introduced a 3-axis accelerometer for the industrial market that combines high offset stability over temperature and time, good linearity, low noise density, and excellent robustness. The SCA3400-D01 XYZ accelerometer is meant for use in industrial applications such as structural health monitoring (SHM), machine control, inertial measurement units, and construction tools and systems. This product will be exhibited at Sensors Converge 2025 to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center (Booth #716), California from 24 to 26 June 2025.
The offset stability of an accelerometer refers to the consistency of its output when at rest, but subject to varying temperatures or the effects of aging. Ideally, this output should be zero, but it is often not, and so equipment makers need to calibrate their designs to account for this. The more stable the offset is, the greater the accuracy of the sensor's measurements. Also, high offset stability enables equipment makers to calibrate their designs for the product's lifetime, rather than expecting users to regularly recalibrate to maintain accuracy.
In the case of the SCA3400-D01, the offset drift over lifetime 0.5 mg for the X and Y axes and 2 mg for the Z axis. The offset error introduced by varying its operating temperature is 2 mg on the X and Y axes and 3 mg on the Z axis. The Murata SCA3400-D01 offers exceptional performance in terms of accuracy. It exhibits a linearity error figure of 1 mg over a 1.2 g range and a noise density of 20 µg/√Hz, both of which contribute to more precise measurements.
Another feature of the 3-axis accelerometer that should appeal to industrial equipment makers is the user-selectable dynamic range and low-pass filtering, which enables designers to configure the part for the best combination of resolution, linearity, and noise performance for the application. The part also has self-diagnostic features that enable it to detect when a measured signal is reliable.
The SCA3400-D01 (8.6 × 7.6 × 3.3 mm; 0.34" × 0.30" × 0.13") is built on the latest version of Murata's proven 3D MEMS process and uses the company's latest ASIC design and processes. It will be available as single parts on an evaluation PCB, sample bags of four parts, and reels containing either 100 or 1,000 pieces.

FDJ UNITED Capital Markets Day
BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: FDJ UNITED (Paris:FDJ), a leader in betting and gaming in Europe, is holding its Investor Day today to present its operational, ESG and financial goals under its 'Play Forward 2028' strategic plan. Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and CEO of FDJ UNITED, commented: 'FDJ UNITED has undergone a considerable transformation since its IPO, with financial and non-financial performance underscoring the success of our strategy for sustainable, profitable growth. 2025 is a pivotal year for the Group, with the consolidation of Kindred, the benefits of which are reflected in our 'Play Forward 2028' strategic plan. This plan opens a new chapter in our transformation, with the ambition of asserting our position as Europe's leading responsible betting and gaming operator, based on a more diversified, more digital and more international business portfolio. 'Play Forward 2028' aims to continue to create value for our shareholders and all our stakeholders.' FDJ UNITED continues to pursue sustainable value creation The Group's performance in 2019-2024 demonstrated the relevance of its strategy, notably focused on expanding its digital and international presence, while maintaining solid business momentum at its points of sale in France. As a result, the Group's international presence now accounts for around 26% of its revenue, compared with 3% in 2019, and the share of digital revenue has risen from 5% to 35% over the period. Between 2019 and 2024, through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions, FDJ UNITED's revenue increased by a factor of 1.8, to €3.8 billion, 2 with average annual organic growth of over 5%. recurring EBITDA has increased by a factor of 2.3, to €964 million, 2 equating to a recurring EBITDA margin that rose by nearly 500 basis points to over 25% in 2024. This high level of profitability can be explained both by the operating leverage of FDJ UNITED's businesses and by the performance-driven culture intrinsic to the Group. Guidance for 2025 confirmed Taking into account the strong performance achieved in 2024, the impact in 2025 of the sharp increase in taxes on betting and gaming in France and the Netherlands as well as the stricter implementation of regulations in major markets, FDJ UNITED expects to see revenue remain stable over the financial year, compared to 2024 pro forma, and a recurring EBITDA margin of over 24%. Solid targets for 2028 Over the period 2025-2028, FDJ UNITED aims to assert its leadership in Europe as a responsible lottery, gaming and betting operator and expects to see: - Average annual organic revenue growth of around 5% - Recurring EBITDA margin of over 26% by 2028 Margin growth is driven by the operating leverage generated by business growth combined with the efficiency measures taken by FDJ UNITED, for a total impact over the 2025-2028 period of more than €120 million, more than half of which is attributable to the Online betting and gaming BU and nearly 40% to the French lottery and retail sports betting BU. The Group will benefit from its past and future investments in the use of data and artificial intelligence to further improve the gaming range and player experience in a responsible manner. - Recurring EBITDA to free cash flow conversion rate remaining above 80% - Cumulative capital expenditure of between €650 and €700 million, equating to an annual amount towards the lower end of the Group's historical range of 4% to 5% of revenue - Net debt to recurring EBITDA ratio less than or equal to 2x, with Investment-Grade debt An attractive dividend policy FDJ UNITED is pursuing its attractive dividend policy, with year-on-year dividend growth reflecting its performance and medium-term outlook, based on a payout ratio of at least 75% of adjusted net profit. Confirmed non-financial commitments At the same time, FDJ UNITED plans to continue expanding its CSR initiatives and to maintain its non-financial performance at the highest level. FDJ UNITED is therefore making a dual commitment, unique among betting and gaming operators, to: - Continue to reduce the proportion of its revenue attributable to high-risk players. In addition to the highly promising results already achieved by both FDJ and Kindred before their tie-up, the Group is working on setting new targets, which will be shared in early 2026. - Raise the level of its voluntary contribution to social and environmental causes to 5% of the Group's reported net profit by 2030, compared with 2.7% in 2024. Within this framework, FDJ UNITED announces an investment of €5 million in Averrhoa Nature-Based Solutions, a fund led by Ardian in partnership with aDryada aiming at restoring forests, wetlands and mangroves and contributing to carbon sequestration from the atmosphere while generating high-quality carbon credits By business activity: The French lottery and retail sports betting BU is aiming to achieve sustainable, profitable growth in its pool of players, across its two distribution channels, complemented by an omnichannel approach. The main driver of growth over the period 2025-2028 is expected to be the influx of more than one million additional players, compared with 27 million players in 2024. 3 This influx will be driven both by the expansion of the point-of-sale network to cover large food retailers – which could account for 20% of the physical network by 2028, to offset closures in the traditional network of bar-tobacco-press outlets – and by the development of the online channel, which is expected to account for 20% of lottery revenue by 2028. At the same time, the Group's omnichannel player account and its FDJ & Moi programme will help raise the share of identified players to over 25%. The BU's ambition is expected to result in: - Average annual revenue growth in the low to mid-single digit, low single digit for points of sale and low to mid-teens for ilottery - Recurring EBITDA margin of over 35% by 2028 The Online betting and gaming BU 's ambition is to expand its positions in all its markets, with rapid growth in revenue and even greater growth in profitability. This responsible development is based on an engaging gaming experience supported by a differentiating marketing strategy, the unique scalable proprietary platform KSP, and greater operational efficiency to outperform the markets in which the Group is present and benefit from significant operating leverage. The BU's ambition is expected to result in: - Growth in market share and stronger positioning in all geographic markets, with the aim of being in the top 3 in seven of its eight main European markets, for average annual revenue growth in the high single digit - Higher growth in recurring EBITDA, with a recurring EBITDA margin of over 30% by 2028 FDJ UNITED's 2025 Capital Markets Day will begin at 3:00 p.m. today. All presentation materials and recordings will be available on FDJ UNITED's website at the following address: About FDJ UNITED FDJ UNITED is one of Europe's leading betting and gaming operators, with a vast portfolio of iconic brands and a reputation for technological excellence.

New Heights for M&A Insurance Claims Payouts, Aon Study Reveals
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the latest edition of its Global Transaction Solutions Claims Study, informed by Aon's proprietary claims data and surveyed insurer data. The study reveals there has been a significant increase in claims activity around Representations and Warranties (R&W) insurance, also known as Warranty and Indemnity (W&I) insurance, with 2024 being the highest year on record for M&A insurance payouts. Aon's North America claims team has helped facilitate over 100 paid claims for clients in the last three years, including 39 in 2024 alone, which recovered over $300m, with a median payment of $5.5m. Activity in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) continues to increase year-over-year, with claims notifications up by 26 percent in 2024 and the quantum of W&I claims payments up significantly, with recoveries in 2024 alone accounting for more than 35 percent of all paid claims for Aon clients in the region to date. The study analyzes claims severity and payment trends in EMEA against the wider backdrop of regional M&A deal activity, with a spotlight on key jurisdictions and success stories. In the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, a number of key trends have emerged including an increasing variety of categories of W&I breaches being claimed in Asia, including an increasing proportion of regulatory, litigation-related and disclosure-related claims, a high incidence of disclosure-related breaches in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) representing almost 30 percent of W&I claims, as well as a consistent relatively high frequency of claims in smaller transactions particularly in ANZ. Asia has also seen a larger number of W&I and tax liability policy claims coming out of India-based risks in 2024 (making up more than 30 percent of all Asia claims), with tax risks relating to both cross-border treaty matters as well as fully domestic Indian tax risks. Drivers of R&W and W&I claims In North America, R&W claims were driven by alleged breaches of warranties relating to compliance with laws (20 percent), followed by tax (17 percent) and material contracts (13 percent). In EMEA, breach of tax warranties (26 percent) represented the top driver by frequency for W&I claims, but the biggest drivers of paid claims were breaches of warranties relating to financial statements (27 percent), compliance with laws (13.2 percent) and material contracts (11 percent). In APAC, the top W&I claims drivers were breaches of warranties relating to material contracts (19 percent) and legal compliance, tax and license permits, all at 12.5 percent of claims. Cross-industry comparisons Aon's Global Transaction Solutions Claims Study analyzes industry sectors in North America to draw comparisons between deals, claims and payments and the issues driving loss. Despite the different risk profiles between sectors, there is a remarkably even distribution across the identified industries for claim frequency and severity when compared to the percentage of deals they comprise in the overall deal pipeline. Dealmakers can apply the sector insights gathered to inform their approach for subsequent M&A activity in that industry, while insurers may be comforted that there is no one 'high risk' industry for R&W breaches. 'Understanding global M&A insurance claims trends isn't just insightful — it's essential to helping our clients navigate risk and make smarter deal decisions. R&W insurance has become an embedded part of dealmaking and risk mitigation, as evidenced through this most recent record year in claims payouts. It offers critical protection that enables transaction execution with greater confidence,' said Stephen Davidson, global head of claims at Aon. 'This study reinforces that while the coverage itself is vital, the real key to successful claims outcomes lies in collaboration. When insurers, brokers and insureds work together, we consistently see fair, efficient resolutions that preserve deal value and support long-term client success.' Other key findings from the report include: Aon has been involved in over 1,600 notified R&W and W&I claims, helping its clients to secure over $1.75bn in payments globally. More than $500m has been paid to Aon clients on notices submitted more than 12 months post-close of the transaction. To the end of 2024, the Aon claims team has worked with insurers to recover almost $200m in paid claims for Aon's EMEA clients. A steady rise in the rate of notifications across Asia shows insureds becoming more aware of policy benefits and the importance of engaging with their broker at the inception of the claim. About Aon Aon plc (NYSE: AON) exists to shape decisions for the better — to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. Through actionable analytic insight, globally integrated Risk Capital and Human Capital expertise, and locally relevant solutions, our colleagues provide clients in over 120 countries with the clarity and confidence to make better risk and people decisions that protect and grow their businesses.
