About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses gross billings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.
The Company defines gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course offerings in such period, net of the total amount of refunds in such period. The Company’s management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because the Company generally bills its students for the entire course fee at the time of sale of its course offerings and recognizes revenue proportionally as the classes are delivered. For some courses, the Company continues to provide students with 12 months to 36 months access to the pre-recorded audio-video courses after the online live courses are delivered. The Company believes that gross billings provides valuable insight into the sales of its course packages and the performance of its business. As gross billings have material limitations as an analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude share-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.
The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

TCL joins supporters across Spain in celebrating La Roja’s return to the summit of international football
PARIS, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL, a leading global consumer electronics brand and premium partner of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), congratulates the Spanish national football team, who picked up the biggest trophy of the summer this weekend.
Sixteen years after La Roja’s first triumph, Spain has once again delivered a defining moment in the country’s sporting history. Since 2023, TCL has supported the Royal Spanish Football Federation, sharing the passion for a sport capable of uniting generations and creating unforgettable moments for fans globally.
“Congratulations to La Roja on this extraordinary achievement. Their journey reflects the talent, determination and collective spirit that make football a powerful source of inspiration,” said Stefan Streit, CMO at TCL Europe. “As premium partner of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, we are proud to celebrate alongside supporters across Spain and help fans experience the games through the latest technologies.”
A Victory Shared Beyond the Stadium
At a time when entertainment is enjoyed across multiple devices, a major football final remains one of the few occasions that can gather families and friends around the same screen. These are the moments TCL builds its entertainment technology to serve.
The TCL SQD-Mini LED TV Series is designed to bring greater scale, detail and intensity to live sport, combining precise light control, vivid colour and immersive large-screen viewing. Paired with powerful home audio, TCL televisions help audiences follow the movement of the match, hear the energy of the crowd and experience every moment with greater impact.
Beyond home entertainment, TCL’s wider ecosystem of air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and connected lifestyle products supports comfort throughout the home, whether families are preparing for the match, welcoming friends or celebrating together after the final whistle.
Supporting La Roja and the Power of Sport
TCL takes pride in its extensive sports sponsorships and in supporting leading national football teams across Europe.
As premium partner of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, TCL brings the passion and determination of La Roja closer to supporters while reinforcing its commitment to enhancing the way major sporting moments are experienced at home.
In Italy, TCL partners with the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio, supporting the viewing experience for Azzurri fans. The company is also present in Germany as official partner of the German Football Association, alongside its support for the Polish, Czech and Slovak national football teams. TCL is also a global partner of Arsenal Football Club, extending its connection with football fans across international markets.
TCL’s commitment to sport also extends beyond football. Most recently, the company became a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner through to 2032, supporting fan and athlete experiences across the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This reflects TCL’s long-term commitment to using technology to enhance the sporting experience and its belief in the power of sport to unite cultures, communities and generations.

Unlimited Systems Data Breach Exposes Patient Health and Personal Information: Edelson Lechtzin LLP Investigates Class Action Claims
Published

July 21, 2026By
National data breach law firm offering free case evaluations to individuals whose personal and protected health information may have been exposed after an unauthorized actor accessed files maintained by healthcare software vendor Unlimited Technology Systems, LLC.
NEWTOWN, Pa., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Edelson Lechtzin LLP, a national class action law firm, is investigating data privacy claims arising from the Unlimited Systems data breach, a cybersecurity incident that exposed personal and protected health information maintained by Unlimited Technology Systems, LLC (“Unlimited”), a healthcare practice management software and revenue cycle management company. Unlimited disclosed the incident in a sample notice submitted to the Iowa Attorney General’s Office on July 1, 2026, after determining that an unauthorized actor had accessed files containing the personal and health information of patients served through its practice management software.
What Happened
On October 19, 2025, Unlimited Technology Systems detected unauthorized activity within its commercial data center and launched an investigation with the assistance of a cybersecurity forensic firm. That investigation determined that, between October 5, 2025, and October 10, 2025, an unauthorized actor accessed files and may have obtained copies of personal information belonging to patients of the healthcare providers Unlimited serves. Unlimited states that it notified law enforcement and conducted a review of the data involved, and it later disclosed the incident to state regulators, including through a sample notice submitted to the Iowa Attorney General’s Office on July 1, 2026. The total number of individuals affected nationwide has not been publicly disclosed.
Information Exposed
The Unlimited Systems data breach may have compromised both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). The PII potentially involved includes names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, email and mailing addresses, phone numbers, demographic information, and scanned documents such as copies of driver’s licenses or other government identification, insurance cards, and intake forms. The PHI potentially involved includes health insurance policy numbers, claims and benefits information, medical record numbers, dates of service, and diagnosis information.
Who Is Behind the Unlimited Systems Data Breach?
As of Unlimited’s disclosure, no data extortion or ransomware group has publicly claimed responsibility for the attack, and Unlimited has not publicly identified the responsible threat actor.
Who May Be Impacted
Patients of healthcare providers that use Unlimited Technology Systems’ practice management software — including individuals who receive notice that their information was involved in the incident — may face an increased risk of identity theft and fraud.
Your Legal Options
Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating a potential class action to pursue legal remedies on behalf of individuals whose sensitive personal and protected health information may have been compromised in the Unlimited Systems breach. The firm will evaluate your rights and potential claims at no cost.

Binance Further Expands VIP Access with Updated Holder and OTC Criteria

Lower Holder VIP 3 threshold and OTC Spot Volume recognition make VIP progression more accessible
ABU DHABI, UAE, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance today announced further updates to its VIP Program criteria, lowering the VIP 3 Wallet Assets threshold and integrating OTC Spot Trading Volume into Spot Trading Volume calculations for VIP qualification.
The updates build on Binance’s March 2026 VIP Program refresh, which lowered selected VIP thresholds and introduced new pathways to recognize high-value users earlier in their journey. The latest changes are designed to make VIP status more accessible for eligible holders and to better recognize users who are active across both Spot and OTC trading.
Effective July 21, 2026 at 08:00 UTC, the Wallet Assets requirement for VIP 3 will be reduced from $3,000,000 to $1,000,000. The change enables more eligible holders to access VIP 3 benefits, including applicable VIP fee rates, priority support, higher limits, advanced insights, event invitations, and other VIP-only benefits.
Binance is also updating how OTC Spot Trading Volume contributes to VIP qualification. From the same effective date, OTC Spot Trading Volume will count at a 4x multiplier toward Spot Trading Volume. For example, $1 million in OTC Spot Trading Volume will count as $4 million toward the applicable Spot Trading Volume threshold.
In addition, OTC-related VIP qualification will no longer be capped at VIP 4. By incorporating OTC Spot Trading Volume into the broader Spot Trading Volume metric, eligible users may now progress through the full VIP framework up to VIP 9, subject to meeting the applicable BNB Balance and qualification requirements.
“We continue to refine the Binance VIP Program to better reflect how our users engage across the platform,” said Catherine Chen, Head of VIP and Institutional at Binance. “By lowering the VIP 3 asset holding threshold and recognizing OTC Spot Trading Volume within Spot Volume qualification, we are creating a more flexible and accessible path for users to progress through VIP tiers while maintaining clear, measurable criteria.”
There are no changes to VIP trading fees as part of this update. Users who qualify under the new criteria will be automatically upgraded daily at 08:00 UTC to the corresponding VIP tier. If a user qualifies under multiple criteria, their VIP level will reflect the highest level they meet.
Users can view their latest VIP level in the My VIP Mobile Hub. Full details on the updated VIP Program criteria are available on Binance.
