MSCI Advances Private Markets Strategy With New Solutions Built for General Partners

MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) has launched two new data and analytics solutions, Private Asset and Deal Metrics and Real Capital Analytics (RCA) Funds, designed to provide General Partners (GPs) with deeper insights and enhanced investor engagement capabilities, enabling them to develop more effective strategies for capital formation and deployment across private asset and commercial real estate markets.
Private Asset and Deal Metrics is built on private company and deal-level data from more than 26,000 private equity buyout deals representing $2 trillion in net asset value1. The solution enables GPs to benchmark performance, validate investment themes and engage Limited Partners (LPs) with greater confidence.
RCA Funds delivers global intelligence on institutional real estate funds. It draws on commercial real estate profiles of over 1,600 GPs and 800 LPs and data on more than 8,000 real-estate funds2. The solution supports GPs' fundraising by providing deep insights into LP investment criteria and also helps them strengthen investor relations through transparent fund performance for better reporting.
In the recent MSCI General Partner Survey, more than half of respondents said that they face difficulties finding attractive deals, while one third identified fundraising and capital flows as their top challenges. As GPs navigate this complex and increasingly competitive environment, these new solutions are designed to address critical gaps in data transparency, benchmarking and decision-making capabilities across the full capital investment lifecycle.
'GPs are operating under increasing pressure in what continues to be a challenging market environment, facing heightened competition for capital and deal-making as well as growing scrutiny from investors and regulators,' said Luke Flemmer, Head of Private Assets at MSCI. 'Our goal is to deliver solutions that empower general partners to more clearly articulate their value, operate with greater efficiency and clarity and strengthen investor engagement. We are committed to building a robust suite of scalable tools, analytics and institutional-quality insights that drive client success and expand transparency across private markets.'
While MSCI continues to introduce innovative and tech-enabled solutions that serve the needs of all types of private market practitioners, these launches build on the firm's ongoing commitment to supporting the GP community. These new solutions expand MSCI's dedicated suite of products aimed at GPs, including Private Capital Intel, which allows clients to benchmark performance against one of the largest pools of private capital data with extensive coverage of historical profiles sourced directly from LPs, and the recent partnership with Intapp to deliver enhanced private capital market intelligence.

(NYSE: COHR) ('Coherent,' 'We,' or the 'Company'), a global leader in photonics, announced financial results today for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2025 ended June 30, 2025. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was a record $1.53 billion, with GAAP gross margin of 35.7% and GAAP net loss of $0.83 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 38.1% with net income per diluted share of $1.00. Revenue for the full year fiscal 2025 was a record $5.81 billion, with GAAP gross margin of 35.2% and GAAP net loss of $0.52 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 37.9% with net income per diluted share of $3.53. Jim Anderson, CEO, said, 'We delivered a strong fiscal 2025 with revenue growth of 23% and non-GAAP EPS expansion of 191%. We believe we are well positioned to continue to drive strong revenue and profit growth over the long-term given our exposure to key growth drivers such as AI datacenters. We also continue to optimize and focus our portfolio with the recently announced agreement to sell our Aerospace and Defense business. As we enter a new fiscal year, we are excited about the growth opportunities ahead of us.' Sherri Luther, CFO, said, 'In fiscal 2025, in addition to strong revenue growth, we achieved gross margin expansion of 358 basis points on a year-over-year basis. Revenue growth and margin expansion drove improvement in our operating cash flow, which enabled us to repay approximately $437 million of our outstanding debt for the full fiscal year.'

The change does not impact the Company's financial position, cash flows, or GAAP consolidated results of operations. Prior period non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release have been recast to conform to the current presentation. (2) The Company has disclosed financial measurements in this earnings release that present financial information considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company's management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring the Company's on-going financial performance. The non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Coherent Corp., the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the non-GAAP operating income, the non-GAAP gross margin, the non-GAAP research and development, the non-GAAP selling, general and administration, the non-GAAP operating expenses, the non-GAAP interest and other (income) expense, and the non-GAAP income tax, measure earnings and operating income (loss), respectively, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by management to be outside the Company's standard operation and excluding certain non-cash items. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that such measures may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, due to potential differences among calculation methodologies. Thus, there can be no assurance whether (i) items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will occur in the future or (ii) there will be cash costs associated with items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. All non-GAAP amounts exclude certain adjustments for share-based compensation, acquired intangible amortization expense, restructuring charges (recoveries), impairment of assets held-for-sale, integration and site consolidation expenses, integration transaction expenses, and various one-time adjustments. See Table 6 for the Reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures. Product Highlights – Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 First Revenue from 1.6T Datacom Transceivers. Commenced revenue shipments of our 1.6T transceiver products, enabling high-performance AI datacenter applications. First Revenue from Optical Circuit Switch (OCS). Achieved initial revenue for our differentiated liquid-crystal OCS platform, which we estimate will expand our addressable data center market opportunity by over $2 billion by 2030. Advanced Cooling for AI Datacenters. Introduced a new diamond silicon carbide composite material with enhanced thermal conductivity for cooling xPUs in AI datacenters. Industry-first 600W Excimer Laser for Energy Applications. Launched a new excimer laser platform optimized for high-temperature superconductor tape production for emerging energy technologies including Outlook – First Quarter Fiscal 2026(1) We expect the sale of our Aerospace and Defense business to close this quarter. As a result, the following outlook excludes approximately $20 million in Aerospace and Defense revenue that we expect will occur after we close the sale. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to be between $1.46 billion and $1.60 billion. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to be between 37.5% and 39.5% on a non-GAAP basis. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 are expected to be between $290 million and $310 million on a non-GAAP basis. Tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to be between 18% and 22% on a non-GAAP basis. EPS for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to be between $0.93 and $1.13 on a non-GAAP basis. ___________________(1) The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin percentage, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share, because we cannot, without unreasonable efforts, forecast certain items required to develop comparable GAAP measures. These items include, without limitation, restructuring charges, integration, site consolidation and other expenses, foreign exchange gains (losses), and share based compensation expense. The variability of these items could significantly impact our future GAAP financial results and we believe that the inclusion of any such reconciliations would imply a degree or precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Global Medical REIT Inc. Announces the Approval of a $50 Million Common Stock Repurchase Program and One-for-Five Reverse Stock Split

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Medical REIT Inc. (NYSE: GMRE) (the 'Company' or 'GMRE'), today announced that its Board of Directors (the 'Board') approved a $50 million common stock repurchase program and reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of one-for-five. Common Stock Repurchase Program On August 12, 2025, the Board approved a $50 million common stock repurchase program (the 'Program'). Under the Program, the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), from time to time in the open market, including through block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Reverse Stock Split On August 12, 2025, the Board approved a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of one-for-five (the 'Reverse Stock Split'). The Reverse Stock Split is expected to take effect as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 19, 2025 (the 'Effective Time'). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, at the Effective Time, every five issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be converted into one share of Common Stock, with a proportionate reduction in the Company's (i) authorized shares of Common Stock, (ii) outstanding equity awards, (iii) number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and (iv) outstanding common units of the Company's operating partnership, Global Medical REIT L.P. The par value of each share of Common Stock will remain unchanged. Trading in the Common Stock on a split adjusted basis is expected to begin at the market open on September 22, 2025. The Common Stock will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol 'GMRE' but will be assigned a new CUSIP number. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder that otherwise would receive fractional shares will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of the Effective Time. The Reverse Stock Split will apply to all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time and therefore will not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of shares of Common Stock, except for de minimis changes resulting from the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Equiniti Trust Company, the Company's transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Stock Split and cash in lieu of fractional share payments, if applicable. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in 'street name' are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained herein may be considered 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and it is the Company's intent that any such statements be protected by the safe harbor created thereby. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "should," "plan," "predict," "project," "will," "continue" and other similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions and forecasts of future results. Except for historical information, the statements set forth herein including, but not limited to, any statements regarding the Program and the Reverse Stock Split are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations, estimates and assumptions reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of the Company's forward-looking statements.
