AMD takes aim at Nvidia's AI hardware dominance with Brium acquisition
AMD's latest acquisition could help reduce Nvidia's market dominance when it comes to AI hardware. Semiconductor giant AMD on Wednesday announced it acquired AI software optimization startup Brium. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Brium is a startup that appears to be in stealth mode. The startup builds machine learning applications to enable AI inference, the process a trained AI model uses to draw conclusions from new data, across a variety of different hardware options, according to a blog post on Brium's bare-bones website. Cutting through that jargon a bit, Brium can help retrofit AI software to work with different AI hardware than it might have been designed for originally. In a press release, AMD said its acquisition of Brium will help its commitment to 'building a high-performance, open AI software ecosystem that empowers developers and drives innovation.' While AMD is saying that this acquisition helps create a more open AI ecosystem, which isn't wrong, it seems clear that it's also meant to help AMD overcome one of its biggest roadblocks: a large percentage of AI software is being designed for Nvidia hardware and chips. Brium's sole blog post, which came out in November 2024, talked about the industry's reliance on Nvidia and called out AMD specifically.

Berkeley, CA | REGISTER NOW 'In recent years, the hardware industry has made strides towards providing viable alternatives to Nvidia hardware for server-side inference,' the blog post reads. 'Solutions such as AMD's Instinct GPUs offer strong performance characteristics, but it remains a challenge to harness that performance in practice as workloads are typically tuned extensively with Nvidia GPUs in mind. At Brium, we intend to enable efficient [model] inference across a range of hardware architectures.' This is AMD's fourth strategic acquisition in the past two years toward the company's goal of fostering an open-source AI ecosystem, according to the press release. The company previously acquired Silo AI (in July 2024), (October 2023), and Mipsology (August 2023). TechCrunch has reached out to AMD for more information.

MEXICO CITY, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Industrias Unidas, S.A. de C.V. ("IUSA" or the "Company") has announced its unaudited results for the three months ended March 31 of 2025. Figures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards ("MFRS"), which are different in certain respects from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The results from any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. Unless stated otherwise, reference herein to "Pesos", "pesos", or "Ps." are to pesos, the legal currency of Mexico and references to "U.S. dollars", "dollars", "U.S. $" or "$" are to United States dollars, the legal currency of the United States of America. Except as otherwise indicated, all peso amounts are presented herein in pesos with purchasing power as of March 31, 2025, and in pesos with their historical value for other dates cited. The dollar translations provided in this document are calculated solely for the convenience of the reader using an exchange rate of Ps. 20.46 per U.S. dollar, the exchange rate published by Banco de Mexico, the country's central bank, on March 31, 2025. Three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to three months ended March 31, 2024. The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ending March 31, 2025, and 2024: (Figures in Millions of Pesos) For the year ended March31, 2024 2025 Revenues 6,236.3 8,876.0 Cost of Sales 4,803.3 6,922.3 Gross Profit 1,433.0 1,953.7 Selling and Administrative Expenses 630.8 805.4 Operating Income (Loss) 802.2 1,148.3 Other Expenses - Net 51.2 21.8 Comprehensive Financing Result 63.8 34.9 Taxes and Statutory Employee Profit Sharing 180.9 290.4 Equity in Income (Loss) of Associated Companies (16.0) (2.8) Consolidated Net Income (Loss) 720.3 911.8 D&A 71.5 82.2 EBITDA 1/ 873.7 1,230.5 1/ EBITDA for any period is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding i) depreciation and amortization, ii) total net comprehensive financing result (which is comprised of net interest expense, exchange gain or loss, monetary position gain or loss and other Financing costs), iii) other expenses net, iv) income tax and statutory employee profit sharing and v) equity in income (loss) of associated companies. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternate measure of net income or operating income, as determined on a consolidated basis using amounts derived from statements of operations prepared in accordance with MFRS, or as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activity as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a recognized term under MFRS or U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activity as a measure of liquidity. Our consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was Ps.911.8 million (U.S.$44.6 million), compared to a net income of Ps.720.3 million in the same period of 2024. This represented a 26.6% increase, quarter over quarter (Q/Q). This change is primarily due to an increase in sales and hence Gross Profit. Revenues Our net revenues for the three months of 2025 increased 42.3% to Ps.8,876.0 million (U.S.$433.82 million) from Ps.6,236.3 million in the same period of 2024. This increase was driven in part by higher copper prices, combined with an increase in volume of sales. Our costs and revenues follow copper prices very closely since the market practice is to pass on to the buyer changes in raw material prices. Our sales are primarily for customers engaged in commercial, industrial and residential construction, and their related maintenance and renovation activities. We also sell to customers engaged in electrical power generation, transmission and distribution and to the sectors of gas, water and air conduction in Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR). Our revenues consist mainly of sales of copper-based products (tubing, wire, cable and alloys) and electrical products. By country of production, approximately 61.3% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025, came from products manufactured in Mexico and the remaining 38.7% from products manufactured in the U.S. In terms of sales by region during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we derived approximately 44.0% of our revenues from sales to customers in the United States, 51.7% from customers in Mexico and 4.3% from the rest of the world ("ROW"). Cost of sales Our cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by 44.1% to Ps.6,922.3 million (U.S.$338.3 million) from Ps.4,803.3 million in the same period of 2024. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of sales was 78.0% and 77.0% respectively. We reduce our cost base through several initiatives, including plant scheduling, raw material handling, and overall manufacturing overhead costs. According to our accounting policies, we make an inventory valuation at an average purchase price. In the case of copper cathodes, an aftermath adjustment is required due to the quotation period agreed with the suppliers (M+1). This initiative allows us to hedge purchases for 30 days at no additional cost. The adjustment is recorded to the cost of sales in the month in which it occurs. Gross Profit Our gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased 36.3% to Ps.1,953.7 million (U.S.$95.5 million) from Ps.1,433.0 million in the same period of 2024. As a percentage of sales, gross profit in 2025 was 22.0% vs 23.0% in 2024. Selling and Administrative Expenses Our sales and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased 27.7% to Ps.805.4 million from Ps.630.8 in the same period of 2024. Operating Income Our operating income in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased 43.1% to Ps. 1,148.3 million (U.S.$56.12 million) from an operating income of Ps. 802.2 in the same period of 2024. EBITDA In the three months ended March 31, 2025, our EBITDA increased 40.8% to Ps.1,230.5 million (or U.S.$60.1million), from Ps.873.7 million in the same period of 2024. The corresponding depreciation and amortization figures are Ps.422.3 million for January to March 2025 and Ps.337.7 million for the same period of 2024. Comprehensive Financing Result The following table shows our comprehensive financing results for the three months ending March 31, 2025, and 2024: (Figures in Millions of Pesos) For the year ended March 31, 2024 2025 Interest Expense (69.4) (78.5) Interest Income 51.3 30.6 Exchange Gain (Loss) - Net 88.7 88.9 Other Financing Costs (6.8) (6.1) Comprehensive Financing Result 63.8 34.9 Our comprehensive financing result in the three months ending March 31, 2025, was an expense of Ps.34.9 million, compared to an expense of Ps.63.8 million in the same period of 2024. Taxes and Statutory Employee Profit Sharing The provision for current and deferred income taxes and statutory employee profit sharing in the three months ended March 31, 2025, was an expense of Ps.290.4 million compared to an expense of Ps.180.9 million in the same period of 2024. Consolidated Net Income Our consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was Ps.911.8 million (U.S.$44.5 million), compared to a net income of Ps.720.3 million in the same period of 2024. Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents for Ps.6,436.8 million (U.S.$314.6 million). Our policy is to invest available cash in short-term instruments issued by Mexican and U.S. banks as well as in securities issued by the governments of Mexico and the U.S. Our cash flow from operations and operating margins are significantly influenced by world market prices for raw copper, as quoted by COMEX and the London Metal Exchange ("LME"). Copper prices are subject to significant market fluctuations; average copper prices increased 18.4% in the three months ending March 31, 2025, to $4.57 US dollars per pound from $3.86 US dollar per pound in the same period of 2024. We obtain short-term financing from various sources, including Mexican and international banks. Short-term financing consists in part of lines of credit denominated in pesos and dollars. As of March 31, 2025, our outstanding short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt totaled Ps.422.2 million (U.S.$20.6 million), all of which was dollar denominated. On the same date, our outstanding consolidated long-term debt, excluding current portion thereof, totaled Ps.4,129.0 million (U.S.$201.8 million), all of which was dollar denominated. Accounts receivable from third parties as of March 31, 2025, were Ps.6,205.1 million (U.S.$303.3 million). Days outstanding in the domestic market were 31 days as of March 31, 2025.

In the three months ending March 31, 2025, our capital expenditures were allocated by segments as follows: 1.0% to copper tubing, 35.0% to wire and cable, 45.0% to valves and controls, 8.0% to electrical products and the remaining and 11.0% to other divisions. By geographic region 69.0% of total capital expenditures were invested in our Mexican facilities and the remaining 31.0% in the U.S. You should read this document in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, including the notes to those statements.
