Revenue increases by 64% to EUR 2.3 million,
up from 1.4 million in 2018
More than tripled total contract order volume received year-over-year to about EUR 3.4 million 2019Curetis N.V. shareholders to vote on March 10, 2020 on planned business combination with OpGen, Inc.Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Holzgerlingen, Germany, and San Diego, CA, USA, February 20, 2020, 08:00 am CET — Curetis N.V. (the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, “Curetis“), a developer of next-level molecular diagnostic solutions, today announced preliminary. unaudited condensed combined key financials for the fiscal year 2019 and provided a business update for 2020 year-to-date.Revenue of the Curetis business in 2019 amounted to EUR 2.3 million, up by 64% compared to EUR 1.4 million in 2018. This revenue was realized from a total contract order volume of about EUR 3.4 million received in 2019, up by a factor of more than three comparted to contract order volume in  2018 (EUR 1.1 million). Revenue growth in 2019 was primarily driven by partnering projects of Curetis Group Company Ares Genetics as well as increasing uptake of Curetis’ Unyvero product line. Preliminary, unaudited operating loss of the condensed combined business for fiscal year 2019 was approximately EUR 17.2 million compared to EUR 21.6 million in 2018, an improvement of about 21%. This improvement is mainly driven by significant reductions in operating costs for R&D as well as distribution (marketing and sales) and comes despite significantly increased G&A costs that were driven by one-off transaction-related expenses for the preparation and implementation of the proposed business combination.Key accomplishments of the Curetis business in 2020 year-to-date include:Curetis’ launch of the Unyvero LRT Panel for BAL specimens in the U.S. following receipt of 510(k) clearance by the U.S. FDA in December 2019. The panel includes atypical pathogens such as Pneumocystis jirovecii important for immunocompromised patients and is commercially available to Curetis’ U.S. customers since end of January 2020. The LRT BAL panel is expected to substantially increase the total addressable market for the Unyvero System in the U.S.Curetis GmbH’s subsidiary Ares Genetics’ collaboration with BGI Group to offer Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and PCR-based Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) testing in Europe.Curetis GmbH and Quaphaco entered into an exclusive distribution partnership for Vietnam for an initial term of three years with Quaphaco committing to a minimum purchase totaling approximately EUR 1.9 million during such initial term.Business combination with OpGen Inc.The Company also announced the following updates relating to the planned business combination with OpGen, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD, USA (OpGen):OpGen’s preliminary unaudited total revenue for 2019 increased by 18.7% to US$3.5 million, up from US$3.0 million in 2018. Such revenue growth was driven by Acuitas AMR Gene Panel and Acuitas® Lighthouse revenue, which increased 147% to approximately $1.4 million while revenues from OpGen’s rapid FISH products decreased approximately 12% to $2.1 million.OpGen’s preliminary, unaudited operating loss for fiscal year 2019 was approximately $12.4 million compared with $13.4 million in 2018.Patient accrual is underway since December to support FDA submission for the OpGen’s lead rapid molecular diagnostic test, the Acuitas® AMR Gene Panel Urine for the Acuitas AMR Gene Panel (Urine) FDA De Novo clearance clinical trial;OpGen is working interactively with the FDA to provide final responses to Additional Information Request Letters for the Acuitas AMR Gene Panel (Isolates) pending FDA 510(K) submission. The response process to the FDA is anticipated to be completed in February to be followed by formal response filings; andOpGen achieved the planned program milestone under the New York State Infectious Disease Digital Health Initiative demonstration project.Evan Jones, Chairman & CEO of OpGen, commented, “We were pleased with the initial results from fiscal year 2019 and we look forward to further progress following the expected first FDA clearance of our AMR Gene Panel products. Our teams have been working closely with Curetis to complete the planned business combination of our two companies. Together we have exciting prospects for growth from our combined product portfolios.”Oliver Schacht, CEO of Curetis, commented, “We are encouraged by the significant progress of our business in 2019 and of our planned business combination with OpGen. The initial launch of the new Unyvero LRT BAL panel opens a significant additional opportunity in the U.S. market. Several prestigious medical centers, including a major cancer center and a large academic institution, have already committed to evaluate the Unyvero LRT BAL panel for routine use in patients hospitalized for suspected pneumonia. The Unyvero LRT BAL application is the first and only FDA-cleared molecular diagnostic pneumonia panel that includes Pneumocystis jirovecii. This difficult to diagnose pathogen is a leading cause of pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals.”The preliminary financial results of Curetis and OpGen are estimates prior to the completion of the companies’ financial closing procedures and audit procedures by its external auditors and therefore may be subject to adjustment when the actual results are available.OpGen and Curetis entered into a definitive agreement to combine businesses on September 4, 2019. The closing of the transaction under such definitive agreement has not yet occurred and is subject to a number of significant closing conditions, including receipt of approval from the stockholders of OpGen, Inc. and the shareholders of Curetis, N.V. To this end, OpGen filed and furnished to its stockholders a proxy statement/prospectus and a notice of special meeting of OpGen stockholders to be held on March 10, 2020 to approve the business combination with Curetis. On the same day at 1:00pm CET, Curetis will host its extraordinary shareholder meeting with the objective of seeking approval from its shareholders for the planned business combination with OpGen.Until the closing occurs, each of OpGen and Curetis are operating as stand-alone businesses.###

RepTrak Announces 2024 Global RepTrak® 100 Report

reptrak-announces-2024-global-reptrak-100-report

BOSTON, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The RepTrak™ Company, the world’s leading reputation data and insights company, released its annual Global RepTrak 100 report. Utilizing its advanced reputation monitoring software, RepTrak gathered data from more than 243,000 survey responses across 14 major economies to rank the world’s 100 most reputable companies. They share that ranking alongside a full analysis of global corporate reputation trends and corresponding public sentiment in the 2024 report.

After two years of consecutive Reputation Score declines, this year’s Score is back up with an increase from 73.2 in 2023 to 73.8 in 2024. It’s a small increase after 2023’s full one-point drop. However, it’s an encouraging sign that companies have begun to recover from reputation falls driven by many challenges: macroeconomic issues, workplace difficulties, product problems, and corporate responsibility skepticism.
“This year’s report underscores a pivotal shift in the corporate landscape, spotlighting the remarkable adaptability and dedication of the Top 100 companies in responding to the dynamic needs of stakeholders,” states RepTrak CEO Mark Sonders. “The companies featured in our report are not just riding the wave of change; they are the ones steering it, proving that the best approach to business is one that embraces evolution and champions progress.”
RepTrak’s report explores how people thought, felt, and acted toward companies over the past year. Findings include notable increases in Conduct and Citizenship efforts, stakeholders’ rising willingness to invest, culturally resonant brand communications, and ESG Scores that soared despite skepticism around the acronym.

Published

on

group-ib-takes-part-in-a-global-operation-to-cripple-canadian-phishing-as-a-service-provider-labhost

SINGAPORE, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Group-IB, a leading cybersecurity company aimed at investigating, preventing, and fight digital crime announced today that it participated in a coordinated global takedown operation against prominent Canadian Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) provider LabHost, which has led to the arrest of 37 suspects across the United Kingdom and around the world by law enforcement agencies. As part of the operation, Group-IB also conducted an extensive analysis of LabHost’s criminal history and infrastructure, including insights into LabHost’s administrative platform and the services it provides to its purported user base which exceeds 2,000 subscribers worldwide, who illegally obtained around 480,000 card numbers, 64,000 pin numbers, and over 1 million passwords from victims used for websites and other online services, according to law enforcement agencies.

“By leveraging our Threat Intelligence and Digital Risk Protection, we are able to identify and monitor phishing attacks and websites like those deployed by LabHost and its subscribers around the world, enabling us to actively alert and protect our customers, and in turn, their customers as well,” said Dmitry Volkov, Chief Executive Officer of Group-IB. “Today’s takedown operation demonstrates the agility and responsiveness of our decentralized Digital Crime Resistance Centers, and how quickly we can provide immediate and local assistance wherever our customers may be.”
First uncovered in late 2021, LabHost emerged as a fully automated Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform, streamlining the creation of phishing websites meticulously mirroring the interface and functionality of prominent banking, postal, and financial entities, aimed at intercepting, seizing, and profiting from users’ personal, credit card, and online banking credentials. Users are prompted to select from various “membership plans,” tailored to target businesses and individuals in either the United States and Canada, or globally, akin to mobile subscription models. These plans encompass “standard,” “premium,” and “world membership” tiers, priced between US$179 and US$300 monthly, with options for monthly, quarterly, or annual billing cycles.
