Hoffman Estates-based Claire's, known for piercing millions of teens' ears, files for Chapter 11, 2nd time since 2018
NEW YORK — Mall-based teen accessories retailer Claire's, known for helping to usher in millions of teens into an important rite of passage — ear piercing — but now struggling with a big debt load and changing consumer tastes, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Claire's Holdings LLC and certain of its U.S. and Gibraltar-based subsidiaries — collectively Claire's U.S., the operator of Claire's and Icing stores across the United States, made the filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware on Wednesday. That marked the second time since 2018 and for a similar reason: high debt load and the shift among teens heading online away from physical stores. Claire's Chapter 11 filing follows the bankruptcies of other teen retailers including Forever 21, which filed in March for bankruptcy protection for a second time and eventually closed down its U.S. business as traffic in U.S. shopping malls fades and competition from online retailers like Amazon, Temu and Shein intensifies. Claire's, based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and founded in 1974, said that its stores in North America will remain open and will continue to serve customers, while it explores all strategic alternatives. Claire's operates more than 2,750 Claire's stores in 17 countries throughout North America and Europe and 190 Icing stores in North America. In a court filing, Claire's said its assets and liabilities range between $1 billion and $10 billion. Forever No More. Operator of mall staple Forever 21 files for bankruptcy protection'This decision is difficult, but a necessary one,' Chris Cramer, CEO of Claire's, said in a press release issued Wednesday. 'Increased competition, consumer spending trends and the ongoing shift away from brick-and-mortar retail, in combination with our current debt obligations and macroeconomic factors, necessitate this course of action for Claire's and its stakeholders.' Like many retailers, Claire's was also struggling with higher costs tied to President Donald Trump's tariff plans, analysts said. Cramer said that the company remains in 'active discussions' with potential strategic and financial partners. He noted that the company remains committed to serving its customers and partnering with its suppliers and landlords in other regions. Claire's also intends to continue paying employees' wages and benefits, and it will seek approval to use cash collateral to support its operations. Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, a research firm, noted in a note published Wednesday Claire's bankruptcy filing comes as 'no real surprise.' 'The chain has been swamped by a cocktail of problems, both internal and external, that made it impossible to stay afloat,' he wrote. Saunders noted that internally, Claire's struggled with high debt levels that made its operations unstable and said the cash crunch left it with little choice but to reorganize through bankruptcy. He also noted that tariffs have pushed costs higher, and he believed that Claire's is not in a position to manage this latest challenge effectively. Competition has also become sharper and more intense over recent years, with retailers like jewelry chain Lovisa offering younger shoppers a more sophisticated assortment at low prices. He also cited the growing competition with online players like Amazon. 'Reinventing will be a tall order in the present environment,' he added.

AM Best Revises Outlooks to Negative for Heartland National Life Insurance Company
BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has revised the outlooks to negative from stable and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of 'bbb' (Good) of Heartland National Life Insurance Company (HNL) (Indianapolis, IN). The Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect HNL's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk management (ERM). The revised outlooks reflect downward pressure on the company's overall balance sheet strength assessment due to significant annuity growth that has outpaced excess risk-adjusted capitalization, which has been supported by high third-party reinsurance dependence. AM Best notes that HNL has signed an indicative term sheet with a third-party investment group, which may acquire a minority stake in HNL, by making equity contributions that would significantly enhance its absolute and risk-adjusted capital levels. The overall amount of capital contributions also depends on HNL selling or reinsuring part of its supplemental accident and health (A&H) insurance block to another strategic partner, which would unlock additional capital, enhance near-term earnings under management's projections through a favorable ceding commission(s) and diversify HNL's reinsurance counterparties. A negative rating action could occur if HNL fails to improve its risk-adjusted capitalization by executing further on its aforementioned capital raise plans that include either equity or debt investment or additional reinsurance. Following a year of extensive individual deferred fixed annuity sales targeted to the savings and retirement needs of policyowners, HNL's business profile now has more long-duration asset-liability matching and interest rate risk, in addition to biometric risk from a core portfolio of profitable supplemental A&H business. The latter product line is considered lower risk for insurers on AM Best's product continuum primarily attributed to providing cash benefits, rather than full medical cost reimbursement, to address policyowners' health insurance coverage gaps. HNL has traditionally used extensive reinsurance to share risk and manage capital strain as it executes its growth initiatives under its strategic plan and evolving ERM framework; and in October 2023, the company implemented a 95% quota share flow reinsurance agreement for the annuity sales with Puerto Rico-based Converge Re II. In December 2024, a $7 million surplus note was also issued by HNL, and HNL has access to another $8 million of backup liquidity it can draw from the same credit facility if needed. Altogether these initiatives have helped HNL manage the capital strain associated with its rapid growth; however, this is partially offset by high reinsurance leverage associated with the annuity business that has increased reinsurance counterparty risk capital charges and operational risk. In addition, HNL has reported statutory net losses in 2025, owing to continued high general expenses and direct commissions associated with its high volume of sales and new product launches, which included short-term home health care and cancer heart attack and stroke insurance in 2023 and 2024 respectively, and the upcoming launch of a new fixed index annuity product in some of the company's 36 approved states. HNL's relatively small amount of capital and surplus, as compared with its gross liabilities and its various competitors that also focus on the annuity market for the senior demographic, places pressure on the company's reliance on its sole annuity reinsurer, Converge Re II. Additionally, AM Best notes the elevated financial leverage and modest coverage ratios, as well as the execution risk related to HNL enhancing its capital position given the company's concentrated capital structure. AM Best will continue to monitor the company's capitalization and operating performance over the next few quarters against its planned capital management initiatives and current business plan, along with the mix of business between annuity and A&H insurance. This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website.

Apple and Corning partner to manufacture 100 percent of iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass in Kentucky
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apple® and Corning today announced a major expansion of their long-standing partnership to make precision glass for Apple products. Apple is making a new $2.5 billion commitment to produce all of the cover glass for iPhone® and Apple Watch® in Corning's Harrodsburg, Kentucky, manufacturing facility. This means that 100 percent of the cover glass on iPhone and Apple Watch units sold worldwide will be made in the U.S. for the first time. Corning is creating the world's largest and most advanced smartphone glass production line at the Harrodsburg facility. Corning will now dedicate this entire facility to manufacturing for Apple, which will help increase Corning's manufacturing and engineering workforce in Kentucky by 50 percent. The two companies will also open a new Apple-Corning Innovation Center at the Harrodsburg plant. The Innovation Center will play a key role in the development and engineering of advanced materials and next-generation manufacturing platforms for Apple's future generations of products. These projects are part of Apple's broader commitment to spend and invest more than $600 billion in the U.S. economy over the next four years. This includes Apple's newly announced American Manufacturing Program (AMP), which will invest across America and incentivize global companies to onshore production and manufacture even more of Apple's critical components in the United States. 'Corning is a storied American company, and we're thrilled to work together to build the largest and most advanced production line ever created for smartphone glass,' said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. 'Thanks to the power of American manufacturing, any customer anywhere in the world who buys a new iPhone or Apple Watch will be holding precision glass made right here in Kentucky. We're grateful to the President and his administration for their support for American manufacturing, and we're excited for the innovation this investment will unlock.' 'Apple is an amazing partner for American manufacturers like us, and together, we've innovated and pushed the boundaries of what's possible,' said Wendell Weeks, Corning's CEO. 'We developed and made the glass for the very first iPhone in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, 18 years ago. With this new multibillion-dollar commitment from Apple and the lighting of our most advanced manufacturing platform, we are hiring more people and bringing 100 percent of Apple's cover glass needs for iPhone and Apple Watch to the original home of the innovation.' This announcement continues a partnership that has been in place between Apple and Corning since the launch of the original iPhone in 2007. Today, the Harrodsburg, Kentucky, facility produces high-quality glass for Apple called Ceramic Shield®. This advanced glass — the toughest in any smartphone — is the result of years of innovation by Apple and Corning engineers working closely together. Since the creation of Apple's U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund in 2017, Apple has invested nearly $500 million in Corning's Kentucky operations, with billions more spent on glass manufactured in the U.S. Corning also provides raw materials used by another AMP company, GlobalWafers, which will use silicon from Corning to manufacture advanced bare wafers in the U.S. for the first time. In that way, Corning also plays a key role in Apple's supply chain for producing advanced silicon chips in America. Apple has a long history of investing in the U.S., creating opportunity and driving American innovation. Today, Apple partners with thousands of suppliers across all 50 states, supporting more than 450,000 supplier and partner jobs. In the next four years, Apple plans to directly hire 20,000 people in the U.S. — the vast majority focused on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning. Apple revolutionized personal technology with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Apple's six software platforms — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS — provide seamless experiences across all Apple devices and empower people with breakthrough services including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, and Apple TV+. Apple's more than 150,000 employees are dedicated to making the best products on earth and to leaving the world better than we found it.
