Olive Resource Capital Applies for Normal Course Issuer Bid & Announces Option Grant
New Normal Course Issuer Bid
On July 18, 2025 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new normal course issuer bid program to purchase common shares (the "2025 Bid"). The Company is undertaking the 2025 Bid because it believes that from time to time the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business, and that the repurchase of its common shares at those times would be in the best interests of its shareholders. The Company requires TSX Venture approval prior to commencing the 2025 Bid, and the Company will inform shareholders when such approval has been received, and when the 2025 Bid can commence.
Grant of Options to Management and Board of Directors
On July 18, 2025 the Board of Directors of the Company granted 2,050,000 incentive stock options to Directors and Officers. The options are subject to the Corporation's stock option plan. The options have an exercise price of $0.05 per share and expire on July 18, 2030. The options vest in tranches over a period of 3-years from the date of grant. The Corporation also formally cancelled 1,150,000 stock options that had been previously granted to Directors who have since resigned and are not eligible to retain the options as per the Corporation's stock option plan.
As of the date of this release Olive Resource Capital Inc. has 106,144,709 common shares outstanding.

Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) Reports Sales Below Analyst Estimates In Q2 Earnings
Ride sharing service Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT) missed Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q2 CY2025, but sales rose 10.6% year on year to $1.59 billion. Its GAAP profit of $0.10 per share was significantly above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Lyft? Find out in our full research report. Lyft (LYFT) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $1.59 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.61 billion (10.6% year-on-year growth, 1.5% miss) EPS (GAAP): $0.10 vs analyst estimates of $0.04 (significant beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $129.4 million vs analyst estimates of $124.4 million (8.1% margin, 4.1% beat) EBITDA guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $135 million at the midpoint, in line with analyst expectations Operating Margin: 0.2%, up from -1.9% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 20.7%, up from 19.4% in the previous quarter Active Riders: 26.1 million, up 2.4 million year on year Market Capitalization: $6.10 billion 'We delivered off-the-charts performance, resulting in our strongest quarter ever,' said Lyft CEO David Risher. Company Overview Founded by Logan Green and John Zimmer as a long-distance intercity carpooling company Zimride, Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT) operates a ridesharing network in the US and Canada. Revenue Growth A company's long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Luckily, Lyft's sales grew at an impressive 18.2% compounded annual growth rate over the last three years. Its growth beat the average consumer internet company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a helpful starting point for our analysis. This quarter, Lyft's revenue grew by 10.6% year on year to $1.59 billion but fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 12.7% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. Despite the slowdown, this projection is above average for the sector and implies the market is baking in some success for its newer products and services. Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming. Click here to access a free report on our 3 favorite stocks to play this generational megatrend. Active Riders User Growth As a gig economy marketplace, Lyft generates revenue growth by expanding the number of services on its platform (e.g. rides, deliveries, freelance jobs) and raising the commission fee from each service provided. Over the last two years, Lyft's active riders, a key performance metric for the company, increased by 10.3% annually to 26.1 million in the latest quarter. This growth rate is solid for a consumer internet business and indicates people are excited about its offerings. In Q2, Lyft added 2.4 million active riders, leading to 10.1% year-on-year growth. The quarterly print isn't too different from its two-year result, suggesting its new initiatives aren't accelerating user growth just yet. Revenue Per User Average revenue per user (ARPU) is a critical metric to track because it measures how much the company earns in transaction fees from each user. This number also informs us about Lyft's take rate, which represents its pricing leverage over the ecosystem, or "cut" from each transaction. Lyft's ARPU growth has been excellent over the last two years, averaging 9.3%. Its ability to increase monetization while growing its active riders at such a fast rate reflects the strength of its platform, as its users are spending significantly more than last year. This quarter, Lyft's ARPU clocked in at $60.85. It was flat year on year, worse than the change in its active riders. Key Takeaways from Lyft's Q2 Results We enjoyed seeing Lyft beat analysts' EBITDA expectations this quarter. We were also glad it expanded its number of users. On the other hand, its revenue slightly missed. Overall, this was a weaker quarter. The stock traded down 3.8% to $13.50 immediately after reporting. So should you invest in Lyft right now? What happened in the latest quarter matters, but not as much as longer-term business quality and valuation, when deciding whether to invest in this stock. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.
