Trullion unveils new agentic AI assistant
Trullion, a provider of AI-powered accounting and audit technology, has launched Trulli, an agentic AI assistant designed to support accountants.
The tool is designed to streamline workflow automation, document analysis, and policy interpretation, addressing the intricacies of accounting tasks, the company claims.
Trulli has been developed to ease the workload for finance professionals who often face the challenge of navigating through dense policy documents and contracts, a process that can be time-consuming and prone to error.
It targets corporate accounting teams and audit firms, offering source-backed, auditable results to minimise manual review and enhance accuracy.
Compared to general-purpose AI tools, Trulli is engineered specifically for accounting and audit tasks.
Trullion CEO and co-founder Isaac Heller said: 'We didn't set out to build a chatbot. We set out to build something useful—something accountants and auditors could rely on to navigate complexity with transparency.'
Heller added: 'Trulli isn't here to replace professionals. It's here to free them from the repetitiveness, so they can focus on what matters most—strategy, analysis, and impact.'
Trained on real financial workflows and standards such as GAAP, IFRS, and audit guidelines, it integrates seamlessly into the Trullion platform.
The assistant enables finance teams to retrieve policy guidance, query files, and extract insights from complex documentation efficiently.
Each response is supported by a complete audit trail, ensuring transparency between AI outputs and source documents, the company added.
The assistant is now available to all Trullion customers across its Lease, Revenue, and Audit modules, with plans to further expand its capabilities.
In September 2024, Trullion unveiled Audit Suite, an AI-powered cloud-based platform aimed at enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of audit processes.
The solution is designed to address the rising complexity of financial reporting and the high incidence of errors among accountants, the company said.
"Trullion unveils new agentic AI assistant" was originally created and published by International Accounting Bulletin, a GlobalData owned brand.

Advanced Flower Capital Announces Dividend for the Second Quarter 2025
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Flower Capital Inc. (Nasdaq: AFCG) ('AFC' or the 'Company') today announced its dividend for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. The Board of Directors of AFC declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per outstanding share of common stock for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. The dividend is payable on July 15, 2025 to the common stockholders of record on June 30, 2025. The Board of Directors evaluates the Company's Distributable Earnings (as defined below) each quarter to determine the dividend level. The second quarter dividend was impacted due to a realized loss during the quarter related to the loan to Public Company A. About Advanced Flower Capital Inc. Advanced Flower Capital Inc. (Nasdaq: AFCG) is a leading commercial mortgage real estate investment trust ('REIT') that provides institutional loans to state law compliant cannabis operators in the U.S. Through the management team's deep network and significant credit and cannabis expertise, AFC originates, structures, underwrites and manages loans ranging from $10 million to over $100 million, typically secured by quality real estate assets, license value and cash flows. It is based in West Palm Beach, Florida. Non-GAAP Metrics In addition to using certain financial metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our performance, we also use 'Distributable Earnings' to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations. Distributable Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Distributable Earnings and the other capitalized terms not defined in this section have the meanings ascribed to such terms in our most-recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We use this non-GAAP financial measure both to explain our results to shareholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure and the information it provides is useful to investors since this measure permits investors and shareholders to assess the overall performance of our business using the same tools that our management uses to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance. The determination of Distributable Earnings is substantially similar to the determination of Core Earnings under our Management Agreement, provided that Core Earnings is a component of the calculation of any Incentive Compensation earned under the Management Agreement for the applicable time period, and thus Core Earnings is calculated without giving effect to Incentive Compensation expense, while the calculation of Distributable Earnings accounts for any Incentive Compensation earned for such time period. We define Distributable Earnings as, for a specified period, the net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income (loss); provided that Distributable Earnings does not exclude, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash, (iv) provision for (reversal of) current expected credit losses, (v) taxable REIT (as defined below) subsidiary ('TRS') (income) loss, net of any dividends received from TRS and (vi) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, in each case after discussions between our Manager and our independent directors and after approval by a majority of such independent directors. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP is helpful to shareholders in assessing the overall performance of our business. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that shareholders invest in our common stock, we generally intend to attempt to pay dividends to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to such REIT taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors. Distributable Earnings is one of many factors considered by our Board of Directors in authorizing dividends and, while not a direct measure of net taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends. Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP net income. We caution readers that our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

Roots Reports Strong First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
TORONTO, June 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roots ("Roots" or the "Company") (TSX: ROOT), a premium outdoor-lifestyle brand, announced today financial results for its first quarter ended May 3, 2025 ("Q1 2025"). All financial results are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted basis, are non-IFRS measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics" below. "Our first-quarter results, marking the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in sales, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA, speaks to the growing resonance of the Roots brand and the discipline with which we are executing our strategic priorities," said Meghan Roach, President and Chief Executive Officer. "From elevated marketing to improved product availability and AI-operational enhancements, we drove meaningful gains across key performance metrics. As we begin 2025, I am proud of how our team continues to innovate and deliver value, while navigating consumer preferences and the evolving retail landscape." Sales were $40.0 million, a 6.7% increase compared to $37.5 million in Q1 2024. DTC sales were $34.6 million, a 10.2% increase compared to $31.4 million in Q1 2024 DTC comparable sales growth was 14.1% Gross margin was 61.5%, up 250bps compared to 59.0% in Q1 2024 DTC gross margin of 62.9%, up 80bps compared to 62.1% in Q1 2024 Net loss totaled ($7.9) million, improving from ($8.9) million in Q1 2024 Excluding the impacts from cash settled instruments under our share-based compensation plan, net loss would have been ($7.4) million, improving 16.5% compared to ($8.9) million in Q1 2024 Adjusted EBITDA amounted to ($7.1) million, a 10.7% improvement from ($8.0) million in Q1 2024 Excluding the impacts from cash settled instruments under our share-based compensation plan, Adjusted EBITDA would have been ($6.6) million, improving 16.8% compared to ($8.0) million in Q1 2024 Net debt reduced 6.7% year-over-year to $29.6 million Repurchased 115,300 shares for $0.3 million under the normal course issue bid that launched in Q1 2025 SELECT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (in '000s of CAD$, except where noted) First quarter ended May 3, 2025 May 4, 2024 Change Total sales 39,980 37,461 +6.7% Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") sales 34,608 31,405 +10.2% Partners & Other ("P&O") sales 5,372 6,056 (11.3%) Gross profit 24,572 22,101 +11.2% Gross margin 61.5% 59.0% +250 bps1 Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses 33,289 31,982 +4.1% Net loss (7,911) (8,895) +11.1% Net loss per share ($0.20) ($0.22) +9.1% Adjusted EBITDA2 (7,106) (7,959) +10.7% Free Cash Flow3 (21,806) (14,613) (49.2%) Net Debt4 29,576 31,704 (6.7%) 1 Basis points ("bps"). 2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that adjusts for the impact of certain items that are non-recurring or unusual in nature to remove difficulty in comparing underlying financial performance between periods. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". 3 Free cash flow is a supplementary financial measure that reflects cash flow generated from ongoing operations, calculated as our cash from operating activities less cash used in investing activities and the payment of principal on lease liabilities net of lease incentives. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". 4 Net debt is a supplementary financial measure that reflects our liquidity, refer to the "Reconciliation of long-term debt to net debt and leverage ratio" table for the calculation. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". "Our first quarter results reflect our ongoing commitment to balance top-line growth with cost discipline to improve long-term profitability and operating leverage," said Leon Wu, Chief Financial Officer. "With a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to opportunistically respond to shifting market conditions while sustaining our current momentum." FIRST QUARTER OVERVIEW Total sales were $40.0 million in Q1 2025, representing an increase of 6.7% from $37.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 ("Q1 2024"). DTC sales (corporate retail store and eCommerce sales) were $34.6 million, a 10.2% increase from $31.4 million in Q1 2024. DTC momentum carried into Q1, with comparable sales growth of 14.1%, driven by double-digit growth across both channels. This was led by conversion improvements through improved product curation, customer experience improvements, and better in-stock position. P&O sales (wholesale Roots branded products, licensing to select manufacturing partners and the sale of certain custom products) amounted to $5.4 million in Q1 2025 as compared to $6.1 million in Q1 2024. The decline in P&O sales is from lower wholesale sales as our international operating partner continues to optimize their inventory levels. This decline was partially offset by double digit growth from the remaining lines of business in the segment, including China Tmall eCommerce sales. Gross profit reached $24.6 million in Q1 2025 compared to $22.1 million in Q1 2024, representing a year-over-year increase of 11.2%. Gross margin was 61.5% in Q1 2025 compared to 59.0% in Q1 2024. DTC gross margin was 62.9% in Q1 2025, up 80 basis points from 62.1% in Q1 2024. The increase in DTC gross margin was driven by 270 bps of product margin expansion from improved costing and lower discount sales. This was partially offset by the unfavorable foreign exchange impact on U.S. dollar purchases and increased freight premiums. SG&A expenses totaled $33.3 million in Q1 2025 compared to $32.0 million in Q1 2024, representing a year-over-year increase of 4.1%. The increase was partially driven by $0.5 million of unfavourable revaluation of cash-settled instruments under our share-based compensation plan. Excluding this item, SG&A expenses increased 2.6%, primarily reflecting higher investments in marketing, with sales-driven variable costs largely offset by savings from store fleet optimization initiatives. Net loss totaled ($7.9) million, or ($0.20) per share, in Q1 2025, improving from a net loss of ($8.9) million, or ($0.22) per share, in Q1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to ($7.1) million in Q1 2025, improving from to ($8.0) million in Q1 2024. FINANCIAL POSITION Inventory was $40.5 million at the end of Q1 2025, as compared to $35.4 million at the end of Q1 2024, representing an increase of $5.1 million or 14.5%. The year-over-year increase in inventory was driven by an increase in certain core collections on-hand, addressing the shortages in these areas in Q1 2024, and higher in-transit inventory to support the upcoming season. Free cash flow was ($21.8) million in Q1 2025, as compared to ($14.6) million in Q1 2024. The change in free cash outflows was driven by increased inventory purchases and the timing of certain monthly occupancy cost payments. As at May 3, 2025, Roots had net debt of $29.6 million, improved from $31.7 million a year earlier. The Company's leverage ratio, defined as total net debt to trailing 12-months Adjusted EBITDA, was 1.3x as at Q1 2025. As at May 3, 2025, Roots had $40.6 million outstanding under its credit facilities and total liquidity of $65.9 million, including cash and borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility. NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID Under its Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") program, Roots repurchased 115,300 common shares of the Company ("Shares") for a total consideration of $0.3 million in Q1 2025. The NCIB allows the Company to repurchase for cancellation up to 1,347,118 Shares during the 12-month period ending April 10, 2026. At the end of Q1 2025, 115,300 Shares had been purchased under the current NCIB program. AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CREDIT AGREEMENT On May 22, 2025, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to extend the current maturity date of September 6, 2026 to September 6, 2027. In addition, the amendment reduced the $60 million Revolver Credit Facility, which includes a swing loan of $10 million, down to $45 million, and increased the maximum annual excess cash flow sweep, as defined in the Credit Agreement, from $5 million to $7.5 million. The costs incurred by the Company associated with the amendment will be recorded as debt financing costs within long-term debt and will be recognized in interest expense over the remaining term of the loan.

NON-IFRS MEASURES AND INDUSTRY METRICS This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including certain metrics specific to the industry in which we operate. These measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. In addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, we use non-IFRS measures including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Net Debt"; and non-IFRS ratio: "leverage ratio". This press release also makes reference to "gross margin", "DTC gross margin", and "comparable sales", which are commonly used metrics in our industry but that may be calculated differently compared to other companies. Gross margin, DTC gross margin and comparable sales are considered supplementary financial measures under applicable securities laws. We believe these non-IFRS measures and industry metrics provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring our financial performance and condition and highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. For further information regarding these non-IFRS measures, please refer to "Cautionary Note-Regarding Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics" in our management's discussion and analysis for Q1 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein and is available on SEDAR+ at or the Company's Investor Relations website at The table below provides a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented: CAD $000s Q1 2025 Q1 2024 Net loss (7,911) (8,895) Add the impact of: Interest expense (a) 2,015 2,127 Income taxes recovery (a) (2,821) (3,113) Depreciation and amortization (a) 6,865 7,241 EBITDA (1,852) (2,640) Adjust for the impact of: SG&A: Rent expense excluded from net loss due to IFRS 16 (a) (5,379) (5,589) SG&A: Purchase accounting adjustments (b) (4) (6) SG&A: Stock option expense (c) 75 91 SG&A: Changes in key personnel (d) 54 189 SG&A: Non-recurring legal fees (e) – (4) Adjusted EBITDA(f) (7,106) (7,959) _______________ Notes: (a) The impact of IFRS 16 in Q1 2025 and Q1 2024 was: (i) a decrease to selling, general, and admin ("SG&A") expenses of $1,262 and $1,097, respectively, which comprised the impact of depreciation, and lease modifications on the right-of-use ("ROU") assets, net of the exclusion of rent payments from SG&A expenses, (ii) a decrease in interest expense of $1,292 and $1,291, respectively, arising from interest expense recorded on the lease liabilities in the period, and (iii) a deferred tax impact of $(8) and $(52), respectively, based on tax attributes on the ROU assets and lease liabilities balances recorded.
