Daniel Stark Injury Lawyers Announces Return of Teacher Amazon Wish List Giveaway, Expands to Support More Educators
'At Daniel Stark, we have strong ties to the communities we serve,' said Madeline Edwards, community coordinator at Daniel Stark. 'Through school sponsorships, volunteer work, and local partnerships, we're regularly inside classrooms and school events, so we've seen firsthand the challenges educators face.'
This year's expanded giveaway also reflects feedback gathered from teachers who expressed how much even a few hundred dollars could relieve financial pressure. By increasing both the number of recipients and the amount of the award, Daniel Stark aims to broaden its impact across multiple school districts in Central Texas.
According to a survey conducted by CouponBirds, teachers in Texas spent an average of $1,396 of their own money last year stocking their classrooms with items such as supplies, decorations, educational materials, snacks, cleaning supplies, and even first aid supplies.
Megan Green, a third-grade teacher at Leander ISD and last year's giveaway recipient, used this opportunity to purchase sensory aids like fidget toys, educational games, flexible seating, and classroom decor, transforming her space into a welcoming environment where students feel safe and excited to learn. 'Seriously such a blessing! Thank you for supporting me and other teachers,' said Green.
Green's story is just one example of how direct support can create meaningful change in the classroom. These funds don't just buy materials—they create opportunities for creative teaching approaches, address individual learning needs, and help ensure no child goes without basic resources.
'We heard so many stories last year about the sacrifices teachers make to make sure their students have what they need to succeed,' Edwards added. 'This giveaway is one small way we can help lighten that load and show appreciation for the educators who give so much every day.'
In addition to the giveaway, Daniel Stark is partnering with local education foundations, such as Round Rock ISD's Education Foundation: Back-to-School Celebration, Austin ISD's Back to School Backpack Drive, Holland ISD's Teacher Snack Cart, and College Station ISD's Volunteer Appreciation to promote broader awareness of the issue and encourage others to contribute. The firm is also using its social media platforms to spotlight participating teachers and amplify their voices.
Teachers interested in entering can visit DanielStark.com beginning June 16, 2025. The application period will remain open through the summer. Three winners will be selected and notified by phone on August 8, 2025.

Nagarro releases unaudited Q2 2025 results, posts 4.7% YoY revenue growth in constant currency and 14.2% increase in gross profit despite global macroeconomic challenges
MUNICH, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nagarro, a global digital engineering leader, today presented its unaudited financial numbers for Q2 2025 and released its half-yearly financial report. In Q2 2025, revenue grew to €252.0 million, up 3.2% YoY from €244.1 million in Q2 2024. Constant currency YoY revenue growth for Q2 2025 was 4.7%. Organic YoY revenue growth for the quarter was 3.8% in constant currency, which translated to 2.4% organic YoY revenue growth in Euro terms. Gross profit grew to €83.7 million in Q2 2025 from €73.3 million in Q2 2024. Gross margin was 33.2% in Q2 2025, against 30.0% in Q2 2024. Despite excellent operational efficiency in Q1 and Q2 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was significantly impacted by the revaluation loss on inter-company loans from Nagarro SE and its cash holdings due to the weakening of the US dollar against the Euro. Across Q1 and Q2 2025, the total impact on Adjusted EBITDA of currency revaluation plus foreign exchange forward transactions was a negative €18.0 million. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 was €30.5 million (12.1% of revenue), against €35.5 million (14.5% of revenue) in Q2 2024. EBITDA declined to €32.0 million in Q2 2025, from €32.8 million in Q2 2024. EBIT grew marginally to €23.4 million in Q2 2025, from €23.1 million in Q2 2024. Net profit declined to €8.3 million in Q2 2025 against €12.0 million in Q2 2024 mainly due to increase in income tax expense on account of withholding taxes on inter-company dividends remitted by downstream subsidiaries to their immediate holding companies. The number of clients doing more than €1 million in annual revenue in the last 12 months with Nagarro rose from 184 on June 30, 2024 to 188 on June 30, 2025. A dividend of €1.00 per share amounting to €12.6 million (13.1% of 2024 EBIT) has been declared during the Annual General Meeting held on June 30, 2025. H1 results Revenue grew to €498.9 million in H1 2025, up 3.4% YoY from €482.4 million in H1 2024. Constant currency revenue growth for H1 2025 was 3.6%. Organic YoY revenue growth for H1 2025 was 2.8% in constant currency, which translated to 2.6% organic YoY revenue growth in Euro terms. Gross profit grew to €159.3 million in H1 2025 from €146.9 million in H1 2024. Gross margin was 31.9% in H1 2025, against 30.5% in H1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was €60.8 million (12.2% of revenue) in H1 2025, against €74.7 million (15.5% of revenue) in H1 2024. EBITDA declined to €65.0 million in H1 2025 from €68.8 million in H1 2024. EBIT declined to €47.5 million in H1 2025 from €49.7 million in H1 2024. Net profit declined to €19.6 million in H1 2025 against €28.6 million in H1 2024 mainly due to increase in income tax expense on account of withholding taxes on inter-company dividends remitted by downstream subsidiaries to their immediate holding companies. Operating cash inflow in H1 2025 declined to €26.1 million from €27.6 million in H1 2024, even while factoring utilization under the non-recourse factoring program was reduced by €8.5 million in H1 2025 from December 31, 2024. Days of sales outstanding, calculated based on the quarterly revenue and including both contract assets and trade receivables, has improved from 88 days on December 31, 2024 to 85 days on June 30, 2025. Nagarro's cash balance at the end of June 30, 2025 was €121.8 million as against €192.6 million at the end of December 31, 2024. Nagarro's loans and borrowings at the end of June 30, 2025, were €300.7 million as against €329.6 million at the end of December 31, 2024. The company reported 17,447 professionals as of June 30, 2025. The summarized table for the three-months period ended June 30, 2025 is as follows: Q2 2025 Q2 2024 Growth mEUR mEUR Revenue 252.0 244.1 3.2% YoY4.7% YoY in constant currency Gross profit 83.7 73.3 14.2% YoY Gross margin 33.2 % 30.0 % Adjusted EBITDA 30.5 35.5 Negative 14.1% YoY Adjusted EBITDA margin 12.1 % 14.5 % EBITDA 32.0 32.8 Negative 2.4% YoY EBIT 23.4 23.1 1.3% YoY Net profit 8.3 12.0 Negative 30.8% YoY The summarized table for the six-months period ended June 30, 2025 is as follows: H1 2025 H1 2024 Growth mEUR mEUR Revenue 498.9 482.4 3.4% YoY3.6% YoY in constant currency Gross profit 159.3 146.9 8.4% YoY Gross margin 31.9 % 30.5 % Adjusted EBITDA 60.8 74.7 Negative 18.6% YoY Adjusted EBITDA margin 12.2 % 15.5 % EBITDA 65.0 68.8 Negative 5.5% YoY EBIT 47.5 49.7 Negative 4.4% YoY Net profit 19.6 28.6 Negative 31.5% YoY Supervisory Board committees The committees of Nagarro's Supervisory Board have been freshly reconstituted. Martin Enderle, Chair of the Supervisory Board, is also the Chair of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. Until recently he was Chair of the Supervisory Board of Delivery Hero. Hans-Paul Buerkner, who was previously global CEO and Chairman of BCG, is the Chair of the Strategy Committee. Jack Clemons, who was global CEO of Bata and has been on various other boards, including being Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), is Chair of the Audit Committee. Update on guidance On January 23, 2025, we had projected Nagarro's revenue for 2025 to be between €1,020 and €1,080 million, when calculated at the currency exchange rates then prevailing. We now expect Nagarro's revenue for 2025 to come near the lower end of that guidance. We targeted gross margin in the region of 30%, as compared to 30.4% in 2024. We hold to this expectation of gross margin. We targeted the Adjusted EBITDA margin to be between 14.5% and 15.5%, compared to 15.2% in 2024. Despite strong underlying operational performance of the company, the revaluation loss on inter-company loans and cash holdings because of the weakening of the US dollar against the Euro is currently expected to lead the Adjusted EBITDA margin to be between 13.5% and 14.5%. Nagarro SE will hold its analyst and investors meeting as a video call to discuss the half-yearly financial report 2025 on August 14, 2025, 1:00 pm CEST (4:00 am PT / 6:00 am CT / 7:00 am ET / 12:00 pm BST / 3:00 pm GST / 4:30 pm IST / 7:00 pm SGT / 8:00 pm JST).
