Alibaba Releases Report on Cross-Border Trade’s Positive Impact on the U.S. Economy

Published

New report quantifies the positive economic impacts of cross-border trade conducted by businesses leveraging Alibaba platforms, tools and solutions

NEW YORK, March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA and HKEX: 9988 (HKD Counter) and 89988 (RMB Counter), “Alibaba” or “Alibaba Group”)  recently announced findings from a new report highlighting Alibaba’s positive impact on the U.S. economy and how its e-commerce platforms support U.S. businesses. The report reflects positive growth in both retail sales and employment numbers in the U.S. resulting from the sale of American products to Chinese consumers through Alibaba’s range of online marketplaces and platforms.

Alibaba Group continues to support businesses of all sizes, from small businesses to multinational corporations, by providing them with e-commerce platforms and solutions to enhance their operations and create new growth opportunities in overseas markets. As such in 2022, $66.2 billion in sales from U.S. brands to Chinese consumers on Alibaba platforms helped to add $52.9 billion to the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and supported over 403,000 U.S. jobs, according to the report compiled by NDP Analytics and commissioned by Alibaba.

“E-commerce opportunities across industries continue to grow as consumer demand increases and new technology emerges to enhance the online shopping experience,” said Eric Pelletier, Head of International Government Affairs at Alibaba Group. “At Alibaba, we’re proud that U.S. businesses looking to expand globally count on platforms and solutions from Alibaba to empower them to tap into new markets – such as the rapidly growing Chinese market – to fuel their business growth.”

Alibaba Impact Across the U.S. Economy 
As U.S. businesses broaden the scope of their operations to a global level, Alibaba supports businesses throughout the U.S. in capturing growth opportunities by tapping into a growing Chinese customer base. The report shows the positive impacts on those businesses who have taken advantage of Alibaba’s variety of platforms and solutions in the form of product sales, job growth, indirect impacts and more. Key findings include:

Product sales drive growth: In 2022, large and small U.S. brands utilized Alibaba’s e-commerce platforms to sell approximately $66.2 billion worth of products to consumers in China. That represents a 47.4% increase since 2019 ($44.9 billion). These products range from consumer staples to luxury goods, and the three largest product categories powering sales were computers & electronics, apparel & leather products, and personal care & cleaning products.Employment numbers rise from coast to coast: As sales surged on Alibaba’s platforms, U.S. businesses saw new needs in manufacturing and production, and ramped up their own operations to meet demand. Based on official production employment data published by the U.S. Census, U.S. brands created an estimate of 96,660 direct production jobs (56.6% of 170,867 total direct jobs) to support $49.3 billion in U.S. brand sales on Alibaba’s platforms in 2022. Most of these jobs, totaling 117,270, were generated in the Pacific region, including Alaska, California, Washington, Oregon and Hawai’i. This was followed by the South Atlantic division stretching from Washington, D.C. to Florida with 52,693 new jobs.Small businesses see a boost: Small businesses play an integral role in the U.S. economy, and those that have utilized Alibaba’s platforms have been able to go beyond their U.S. customer base and reach the world’s largest consumer market of more than 1.4 billion people. In fact, U.S. small businesses with under 100 employees generated $6.7 billion in sales, accounting for 13.5% of U.S. brand sales on Alibaba’s platforms.Effects rippled throughout the supply chain: The impact is not felt just by those businesses that use Alibaba’s platforms, but also by businesses throughout their supply chains (indirect impact), and the local communities where U.S. workers at the brands and along the supply chain spend their wages (induced impact). In 2022, sales from U.S. products sold on Alibaba’s platforms created an additional $41.3 billion in indirect and induced output for companies and supported 232,044 indirect and induced jobs along the supply chain and in communities nationwide.

“We are committed to developing new innovations and solutions to aid U.S. businesses as they seek to build on their successes in China and other global markets,” said Pelletier. “Alibaba’s mission has always been ‘to make it easy to do business anywhere,’ and we firmly believe that our platforms offer U.S. businesses a unique growth opportunity. We support and act as a true partner for any business leaders and decision-makers utilizing our platforms to help propel their businesses beyond their domestic market.”

Alibaba aims to bring together businesses from the U.S. and across the globe, enhancing partnerships and helping them to develop stronger cross-border relationships. Through these and the latest tools and innovations from Alibaba’s platforms, businesses of all sizes are able to expand beyond their domestic market and elevate their brands globally.

Former CyberArk and Cisco Leader Joins Akeyless as It Scales Identity Security for the Agentic Era

Published

on

By

Yael Fainaro joins as Chief Strategy Officer to drive strategic partnerships and expand Akeyless ecosystem dominance

NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Akeyless, a company redefining identity security for the AI era, today announced the appointment of Yael Fainaro as Chief Strategy Officer (CSO). Fainaro will lead strategic partnerships and ecosystem expansion to help organizations address a rapidly escalating wave of AI-driven identity risk. She brings deep experience in corporate strategy, business development, and partnerships across cybersecurity. Fainaro previously held leadership roles in Corporate Development at CyberArk and Cisco, where she led global partnerships and growth initiatives. Most recently, she served as EVP Security and General Manager Israel at Synamedia, where she was also a customer of Akeyless.

As AI agents and machine identities scale rapidly, organizations are facing an unprecedented surge in non-human identities operating across cloud, SaaS, and internal systems. Akeyless has emerged as a leader in securing these identities at scale. The company supports hundreds of billions of workload identity transactions annually and is seeing strong enterprise adoption, including Fortune 500 customers.

Fainaro joins Akeyless at a pivotal moment. Traditional identity security models, built for humans and static access, cannot keep pace with the machine speeds driven by the rise of AI agents and the explosion of non-human identities. Organizations now require identity security that operates in real time, dynamically granting and revoking access as agents interact with critical systems and data. This shift requires not just eliminating standing privileges and long-lived credentials, but also enforcing security at runtime.

“Most identity solutions today are built for humans, fragmented across use cases, or limited in how they scale,” said Fainaro. “Akeyless takes a different approach with a unified identity security platform that brings together humans, machines, and AI agents under a single control plane,  while operating at the scale required for AI-driven environments. With its unique Distributed Fragments Cryptography™ technology, recently announced Agentic Runtime Authority, and Agentic Identity Intelligence, Akeyless is uniquely positioned to lead this category.”

With more than 130 integrations across cloud providers, security tools, and enterprise platforms, Akeyless enables seamless identity federation between systems — a critical capability in an increasingly connected, agent-driven world. Akeyless supports leading AI and agent frameworks, including LangChain, n8n, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Claude, and custom GPTs. Fainaro will lead strategic partnerships and scale the robust Akeyless ecosystem further working with cybersecurity and infrastructure leaders, hyperscalers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

The platform allows agents to securely access services across clouds and enables platforms such as ServiceNow and Databricks to interact with internal systems without introducing identity or exposure risk. Akeyless brings dynamic, identity-aware controls across API, application, and network layers, extending identity security as a control plane across enterprise environments and complementing existing network and application security layers with identity-first enforcement.

“Identity security is being fundamentally redefined by AI,” said Oded Hareven, CEO and Co-Founder of Akeyless. “As non-human identities scale beyond anything legacy systems were designed to handle, organizations need a unified platform that operates at that same scale across clouds, machines, and AI agents in real time. Yael brings the experience and vision to help us expand our ecosystem and meet that demand globally.”

Akeyless enables just-in-time identity creation, cross-cloud federation, and secure access for AI agents and workloads through a cloud-native zero-knowledge architecture designed for dynamic, agentic-scale environments. Akeyless’ appointment of Fainaro reflects continued investment in strategic partnerships as a key driver of ecosystem growth and enterprise adoption.

About Akeyless

Trusted by Global 2000 enterprises and industry leaders, Akeyless is redefining identity security for the AI era. The company’s Identity Security Platform delivers comprehensive protection for machines, AI agents, and humans through a single, cloud-native solution. Backed by leading cybersecurity investors including  JVP, Team8, NGP Capital, and Deutsche Bank, Akeyless enables organizations to secure AI agents, eliminate standing privileges and static credentials while simplifying identity management across all environments.

HONEYWELL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS AND REAFFIRMS 2026 OUTLOOK; ANNOUNCES SALE OF WAREHOUSE AND WORKFLOW SOLUTIONS

Published

on

By

Orders Up 7% Leading to ~$38 Billion BacklogSales of $9.1 Billion, Reported and Organic1 Sales Up 2%Operating Margin of 16.1% and Segment Margin1 of 23.3%Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $1.29, Down (35%) and Adjusted EPS1 of $2.45, Up 11%Honeywell Aerospace Spin-off Planned for Third Quarter (June 29, 2026)

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced results for the first quarter and also announced an agreement to sell its Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) business in an all-cash transaction to American Industrial Partners. This transaction and the previously announced sale of Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) are both expected to close in the second half of 2026. The company today also updated the expected timing for the spin-off of Honeywell Aerospace to June 29, 2026, subject to final approval by Honeywell’s Board of Directors and other customary conditions.

First-quarter reported and organic1 sales grew 2% driven primarily by pricing actions and new product introductions. Orders grew 7% organically fueled by strong demand in Building and Industrial Automation. As a result, backlog was up 2% sequentially to $38.3 billion.

Operating income decreased 14% and segment profit1 increased 6% to $2.1 billion with growth in all four segments. Operating margin contracted 320 basis points to 16.1% due to an impairment charge related to the PSS and WWS assets held for sale, and higher repositioning and divestiture-related costs. Excluding these and other items, segment margin1 expanded 90 basis points to 23.3%, driven by higher pricing and earlier-than-anticipated removal of stranded costs related to the planned spin-off of Honeywell Aerospace, which more than offset higher cost inflation.

EPS for the first quarter of $1.29 was down 35% year over year due to charges related to debt restructuring, impairment of assets held for sale, repositioning, and other separation-related items. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings per share1 was up 11% to $2.45 primarily driven by segment profit growth and lower weighted-average share count.

Finally, operating cash flow of ($0.7) billion declined year over year due to higher spin-off and separation-related cost payments and a payment for the settlement of Flexjet-related litigation matters. Free cash flow1,4 of $0.1 billion was down year over year primarily due to the timing of collections, stemming partially from the Middle East conflict.

Management Commentary
“Honeywell delivered a strong start to the year while navigating a challenging geopolitical environment. Orders were up 7% with growth in all segments, pushing backlog to over $38 billion, led by buildings and industrial automation. Through our relentless focus on productivity and execution, we generated 90 basis points of segment margin expansion. This profitable growth, coupled with an acceleration in stranded costs takeout, drove 11% adjusted earnings growth, overcoming the impacts of rising inflation and the disruption in the Middle East. This is a testament to the resiliency of the Honeywell portfolio,” said Vimal Kapur, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell.

“This quarter, we took the final steps to conclude our multi-year portfolio transformation with our announcements to sell Productivity Solutions and Services and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions, both of which are expected to close in the second half of 2026. Further, the Honeywell Aerospace spin-off is now expected to be completed in the third quarter on June 29. All of the acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs and simplification efforts over the last several years have positioned both aerospace and automation for bright futures as independent, leading companies, and we look forward to sharing more at the upcoming investor days in June,” Kapur concluded.

Aerospace Technologies sales for the first quarter grew 3% organically1 year over year. Orders increased 6% compared to the previous year, with a book-to-bill of 1.1x, reflecting the continued elevated demand environment. Electronic solutions delivered strong double-digit growth in the quarter as shipment volumes better aligned to customer build schedules. Temporary mechanical supply chain disruptions pressured output growth across the segment, limiting sales growth in engines and power systems and control systems. Defense and space sales grew 4% driven by expanding global demand amid escalating geopolitical conflict. Commercial original equipment increased 3% as customer order patterns aligned to build schedules. Commercial aftermarket sales grew 3% with ongoing demand strength across the installed base. Segment margin expanded 20 basis points from the prior year to 26.5% as commercial excellence, productivity, and favorable mix were partially offset by cost inflation.

Building Automation sales grew 8% organically1 year over year. By business model, building solutions grew 8% driven by strength in services, and building products grew 8% highlighted by double-digit growth in the fire business, particularly in North America. Orders increased 9% led by growth in data center and hospitality verticals. Segment margin expanded 40 basis points to 26.4%, supported by commercial excellence and volume leverage, partially offset by cost inflation.

Process Automation and Technology sales decreased 6% organically1 year over year, driven by declines in aftermarket, which was down 10% due to delays in refining catalyst shipments and automation service upgrades. Projects sales were flat organically, as double-digit growth in LNG was offset by delays in process automation. PA&T saw an overall slowdown in activity in the Middle East stemming from the conflict which caused a transitory impact on revenue in the quarter. Despite this, orders were up 3% driven by double-digit growth in process technology. Segment margin expanded 200 basis points to 23.7%, driven primarily by productivity actions, partially offset by cost inflation.

Industrial Automation sales grew 1% year over year on an organic1 basis. Solutions grew 7% driven by project timing and aftermarket demand in warehouse and workflow solutions and strong services demand in measurement. Products declined 1% driven by productivity solutions and services, partially offset by continued momentum in sensing. Segment margin expanded 260 basis points year over year to 17.0% driven by commercial excellence and productivity actions, partially offset by cost inflation.

Segment margin and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment margin and adjusted EPS. We therefore, do not present a guidance range, or a reconciliation to, the nearest GAAP financial measures of operating margin or EPS.

3

Adjusted EPS and adjusted EPS V% guidance excludes items identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation of adjusted EPS at the end of this release, and any potential future one-time items that we cannot reliably predict or estimate such as pension mark-to-market.

4

With respect to historical periods, free cash flow adjusts for capital expenditures, spin-off and separation-related cost payments, Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination payment, cash payment for settlement of the divestiture of asbestos liabilities, and cash payment for settlement of Flexjet-related litigation matters. With respect to the company’s outlook for 2026, free cash flow adjusts for capital expenditures, spin-off and separation-related cost payments, and cash payment for settlement of Flexjet-related litigation matters.

Segment margin expansion as compared to adjusted segment margin in 2025.

2026 Outlook
The company is maintaining its full-year outlook after a strong first quarter despite the uncertainty stemming from the Middle East conflict. We continue to expect full-year sales of $38.8 billion to $39.8 billion with organic1 sales growth of 3% to 6%; segment margin2 in the range of 22.7% to 23.1%, with segment margin2,5 expansion of 20 to 60 basis points year over year; and adjusted earnings per share2,3  in the range of $10.35 to $10.65, up 6% to 9%. Operating cash flow is now expected to be in the range of $4.4 billion to $4.7 billion, while free cash flow1,4 expectations are unchanged at $5.3 billion to $5.6 billion.

Sale of Warehouse and Workflow Solutions Business
Honeywell announced today that it has agreed to sell its Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) business to American Industrial Partners (AIP), an operationally focused private equity firm that invests in quality industrial businesses with strong management teams. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

This concludes Honeywell’s review of strategic alternatives for the WWS business, which operates commercially under the Intelligrated and Transnorm brands. WWS, which generated approximately $935 million in revenue in 2025, is a leading provider of supply chain and warehouse automation projects, services and products – including automated sortation systems, palletizers, conveyors and robotics solutions as well as aftermarket services and software. WWS will build on AIP’s existing investment in Trew, creating a complementary and differentiated platform to better serve customers across a wide range of industries.

As part of the same strategic review, Honeywell also announced on April 20 that it has agreed to sell its Productivity Solutions and Services business to Brady Corporation.

Appendix

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Certain measures presented on a non-GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a case-by-case basis. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Honeywell’s business.

As indicated herein, certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not reconciled because management cannot reliably predict or estimate certain items for the reasons specified herein with respect to each non-GAAP financial measure.

We define organic sales percentage as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, adjusted for the impact of divestitures to the prior period, and excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation, acquisitions for the first 12 months following the transaction date, and certain other items that are unusual or non-recurring in nature. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

A quantitative reconciliation of reported sales percent change to organic sales percent change has not been provided for the forward-looking measure of organic sales percent change because management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the fluctuations in global currency markets that impact foreign currency translation, nor is it reasonable for management to predict the timing, occurrence and impact of acquisition and divestiture transactions, all of which could significantly impact our reported sales percent change.

We define adjusted net sales as net sales less the sales impact of the Flexjet-related litigation matters. Management  considers the nature and significance of these litigation matters to be unusual and not indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, reflects a $373 million impact to segment profit as a result of the settlement of the Flexjet-related litigation matters.

We define operating income as net sales less total cost of products and services sold, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, impairment of goodwill, and impairment of assets held for sale. We define segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement service costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, certain acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and impairments, and repositioning and other charges. We define adjusted segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment profit excluding the segment profit impact of the Flexjet-related litigation matters. We define segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment profit divided by net sales. We define adjusted segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as adjusted segment profit divided by adjusted net sales. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

A quantitative reconciliation of operating income to segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, has not been provided for all forward-looking measures of segment profit and segment profit margin included herein. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment profit, particularly pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets. The information that is unavailable to provide a quantitative reconciliation could have a significant impact on our reported financial results. To the extent quantitative information becomes available without unreasonable effort in the future, and closer to the period to which the forward-looking measures pertain, a reconciliation of operating income to segment profit will be included within future filings.

Acquisition amortization and acquisition- and divestiture-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions or divestitures we complete and are not on a predictable cycle and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions or divestitures may occur. We believe excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

12

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the gain related to the Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination was $802 million, without tax expense.

13

In the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company enhanced its process for estimating environmental liabilities at sites undergoing active remediation, which led to earlier recognition of the estimated probable liabilities and an increase to estimated environmental liabilities. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the adjustment to increase environmental liabilities was $161 million, net of tax benefit of $50 million.

14

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the adjustment for loss on settlement of divestiture of asbestos liabilities was $112 million, net of tax benefit of $36 million.

15

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the adjustment for the Flexjet-related litigation matters was $302 million, net of tax benefit of $71 million. Management considers the nature and significance of these litigation matters to be unusual and not indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance.

We define adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted to exclude various charges as listed above. We believe adjusted earnings per share is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. For forward-looking information, management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the pension mark-to-market expense or the divestiture-related costs. The pension mark-to-market expense is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets. The divestiture-related costs are subject to detailed development and execution of separation restructuring plans for the announced separation of Honeywell from Honeywell Aerospace. We therefore do not include an estimate for the pension mark-to-market expense or divestiture-related costs. Based on economic and industry conditions, future developments, and other relevant factors, these assumptions are subject to change.

Acquisition amortization and acquisition- and divestiture-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions or divestitures we complete and are not on a predictable cycle and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions or divestitures may occur. We believe excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

This measure can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.
