Vital Materials Released Quantum Flux Photon Counting CT (PCCT) Full Vertical Integration Technology
The Photon Counting Detectors (PCD), as the core technology of PCCT, differ significantly from traditional Energy Integrating Detectors (EID). Traditional CT scanners require X-ray photons to first be converted into visible light, then into electrical signals. In contrast, the PCCT detector employs semiconductor materials, where X-ray photons excite electrons, creating electron-hole pairs proportional to photon energy. Charge carriers from the pairs are separated by an electric field to generate electrical pulses. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) categorize these pulses by energy bins, enabling precise photon counting and energy resolution. This breakthrough provides crucial technical support for multi-energy spectral imaging, significantly enhancing the diagnostic value of medical imaging.
Currently, the PCCT detectors primarily utilize three materials: Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe or CZT), Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), and Deep Silicon. CZT is emerging as a breakthrough for next-generation medical imaging technology due to its outstanding detection capabilities. The core value of VITA Genesis lies not only in adopting a detector solution based on the CZT, but more importantly in pioneering the mastery of PCCT's full vertical integration technology. This includes ultra-high purity metals purification and compounding, single crystal growth and processing, component design and development, CT system integration, and imaging algorithm development, establishing a global paradigm in the field of PCCT.

OverActive Q2 2025 Results: Revenue up 26%, Operating Expenses Down 14%; Launch of ActiveVoices Opens New AI Based SaaS Growth Platform
2Q Growth led by Events and Agencies; disciplined cost control positions Company for margin expansion and profitability in H2 2025 TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - OverActive Media Corp. ("OverActive" or the "Company") (TSXV: OAM) (OTC: OAMCF), a global esports, digital media and entertainment company for today's generation of fans, released its results for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2025. Financial Results Summary for Q2 2025 (i) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measures. Refer to "Non-IFRS Measures" at the end of this press release. "Q2 was about delivery and discipline," said Adam Adamou, Chief Executive Officer of OverActive Media. "We executed two of the most successful events in our history – "LEC on the Road" in Madrid and the "Call of Duty League Championship Weekend" in Canada – while scaling our influencer business. These results demonstrate our ability to create demand, deliver premium fan experiences, and convert them into revenue across regions. We also maintained tight cost controls, bringing operating expenses down 14% even as we invested in rosters and production capacity. The quarter's margin profile reflects a deliberate mix shift toward events and agency work; we expect that to rebalance in the second half as higher-margin league-share and digital merchandise come through. With a cash position of $5.1 million and positive working capital, we're set up to expand margins and keep moving toward our profitability objectives." Mr. Adamou continued, "Earlier this month we launched ActiveVoices, a partner-provided proprietary AI-powered platform delivering real-time translation, dubbing, and multi-platform publishing in over a dozen languages. This is a scalable SaaS product that builds on our existing content, creator network, and production infrastructure. We believe ActiveVoices can capture a meaningful share of the global creator economy, and it is a natural extension of our mission to connect audiences worldwide." Mr. Adamou concluded, "With contracted high-margin revenue streams set to ramp in the second half, we remain on track toward our profitability objectives in 2025." Q2 2025 Financial Highlights Revenue was $8.36 million, up 26% from $6.62 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by strong growth in Business Operations, led by Events and Agencies, which more than offset lower League revenues due to payment timing and the absence of prior-year esports events. Gross profit was $4.0 million, producing a 48% gross margin, versus $4.1 million and a 62% gross margin in the prior-year quarter. The decline in margin reflects a change in revenue composition, with a larger share coming from Events and Agencies, which carry lower margins than League-share and digital merchandise. The prior year also included high-margin esports MTX revenue, which did not reoccur this quarter. League-share and digital merchandise revenues, the Company's highest-margin contributors, were minimal in the quarter and are expected to increase in the second half of the year. Operating expenses decreased 14% to $5.17 million, compared to $6.03 million in Q2 2024 reflecting lower restructuring and business development costs year over year, partially offset by higher roster and team payroll costs. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.02 million, compared to a loss of $1.23 million in Q2 2024. The slight year-over-year variance reflects lower add-backs this year, particularly fewer restructuring and business development items, partly offset by stronger Events and Agency revenues and lower operating costs. Q2 results were consistent with expectations for the seasonal timing of revenues, with the Company's highest-margin revenue streams weighted to the second half of the year. OverActive remains focused on its path to profitability in 2025. Comprehensive loss was $1.49 million, compared to comprehensive income of $6.43 million in Q2 2024. The prior-year quarter benefited from a non-recurring $9.8 million gain related to the decrease in the net present value of franchise obligations, which did not repeat in 2025. The current quarter included a $1.47 million foreign-currency translation gain on Euro-denominated assets. Net working capital was $1.87 million as of June 30, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.07 million, reflecting normal first-half timing and planned uses of cash as the Company executed major events and commercial programs. Construction-in-progress for the planned Toronto venue remained unchanged at $2.15 million. Year-to-Date Financial Highlights Revenue for the first half of 2025 totaled $13.36 million, an increase of 30% compared to $10.28 million in the first half of 2024. The growth was driven by a $5.03 million increase in Business Operations, led by expanded agency contracts, higher event revenues and sponsorship activations and the acquisition of KOI and Riders on March 1, 2024. This was partially offset by a $1.94 million decline in Team Operations, reflecting lower League revenues due partially to timing differences and the absence of prior-year Esports World Cup events. Gross profit for the first half of 2025 was $6.68 million, producing a 50% gross margin, compared to $6.89 million and a 67% gross margin in the first half of 2024. The decline in margin reflects a higher proportion of event and agency revenue, which carry lower margins, and the absence of prior-year high-margin esports sticker revenue. League-share and digital merchandise revenues, the Company's highest-margin contributors, were minimal in the first half and are expected to increase in the second half of the year. Operating expenses for the first half of 2025 were $10.09 million, down 12% from $11.42 million in the same period last year. The decrease was driven by disciplined SG&A controls and the elimination of prior-year restructuring costs, partially offset by targeted investments in team rosters and EU staffing. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2025 was a loss of $3.29 million, compared to a loss of $3.05 million in the first half of 2024, reflecting a higher loss year over year. The year-to-date change was driven primarily by increased corporate payroll to support expanding operations and an unfavourable mix with lower contributions from high-margin league-share and digital merchandise. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to improve in the second half of the year as higher-margin revenue streams ramp up. Comprehensive loss for the first half of 2025 was $3.49 million, compared to comprehensive income of $1.95 million in the same period last year. The prior-year period benefited from a non-recurring $9.8 million gain related to the decrease in the net present value of franchise obligations, which did not repeat in 2025. The current year-to-date results included a $3.15 million foreign-currency translation gain on foreign denominated assets.
