Published

on

Convergence announces the immediate availability of RFQ™, a web-based analytical tool giving users the ability to see the quality of a Registered Investment Adviser’s (RIA’s) regulatory filings.

NEW YORK, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Convergence announces the immediate availability of RFQ™, a web-based analytical tool giving users the ability to see the quality of a Registered Investment Adviser’s (RIA’s) regulatory filings. The measure of quality is based on scores from Convergence they receive for the accuracy, consistency, frequency, conciseness, clarity and quality of disclosures in forms ADV, D, 13F and NCEN/NPORT. Quality test scores are graded using a standard bell curve approach that tells the RIA if their score is consistent, higher or lower than a carefully designed peer group.

The quality of RIA regulatory filings is declining for many reasons, and we set out to provide RIAs, investors, service providers and regulators with tools they can use to study filings and improve them.

“The quality of RIA regulatory filings is declining for many reasons, and we set out to provide RIAs, investors, service providers and regulators with tools they can use to study filings and improve them,” said John Phinney, CEO of Convergence. “Our RFQ™ tool is designed to give users the ability to understand the quality of the filings they are reading.”

RIA Benefits
“RFQ™ gives RIAs an independent and objective assessment of filing quality that they can use to improve them and demonstrate their commitment to making filings that are consistent with SEC rules and the market,” said Phil Joyce, Head of RIA Services.

Pension Plan Benefits
“RFQ™ supplements their pre- and post-operational due diligence efforts, particularly when looking at the RIA’s compliance function,” said George Evans, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Convergence. “Consistent or higher RFQ™ scores give you a glimpse into their compliance culture.”

Service Provider Benefits
“The PCAOB has recently adopted a new quality control standard aimed at enhancing audit quality. Accounting firms can improve the quality of their audits by utilizing RFQ™ to strengthen client acceptance and independence testing. Additionally, accounting firms can leverage RFQ™ to identify commercial opportunities for offering solutions that assist clients in meeting regulatory requirements,” said George Gainer, Head of Audit Services.

Availability
RFQ™ for Form ADV Part 1A can be accessed here.

Selected Highlights

Improving momentum across regions and channels: North America remained comparatively resilient, supported by St. John, while EMEA and Greater China experienced softer demand. Direct-to-consumer remained the largest channel at 68% of revenue. Trends at Lanvin and Wolford improved in the second half, reflecting early progress from operational and commercial initiatives.

Operational discipline and portfolio optimization: The Group continued to advance its transformation, focusing on efficiency, organizational simplification and resource allocation to core brands. Selective store closures and tighter cost control supported improved adjusted EBITDA, despite lower revenue. The Caruso carve-out further sharpened the Group’s strategic focus.

Progress across the portfolio: St. John remained stable in North America. Wolford showed meaningful improvement in the second half, supported by stronger product availability and wholesale recovery. Lanvin continued its creative repositioning, while Sergio Rossi advanced its restructuring and asset-light transition.

Strengthened leadership: Key appointments across the portfolio, with Barbara Werschine as Deputy CEO of Lanvin, Marco Pozzo as CEO of Wolford, and Mandy West as CEO of St. John, further enhanced execution capabilities and support ongoing brand development.

Discussion of FY2025 Financials

Revenue

The Group generated revenue of €240 million in FY2025, down 18% year-over-year. The decline reflected macroeconomic headwinds, softer demand in EMEA and Greater China, and the impact of strategic actions including store rationalization and brand repositioning. Lanvin and Wolford’s performance improved in the second half, indicating early signs of stabilization.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased to €140 million, representing a margin of 58%, compared to €172 million and 59% in FY2024. The decline was primarily driven by lower sales volumes, while margin remained resilient due to disciplined pricing and a healthier inventory mix.

Contribution Profit (1)

Contribution profit, defined internally as gross profit less selling and marketing expenses, amounted to negative €31 million in FY2025, compared to negative €34 million in FY2024. The improvement reflects a leaner retail network and continued cost discipline, offsetting lower revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA improved to €-90 million from €-94 million in FY2024, reflecting progress in operational efficiency and cost optimization, despite lower gross profit.

Results by Segment

Lanvin: Revenue declined by 30% to €58 million. The decrease reflects continued brand repositioning and retail network optimization. Gross margin remained resilient at 58%. Contribution loss remained broadly stable, supported by cost discipline. Early signs of improved market reception emerged in the second half under Peter Copping’s creative direction.

Wolford: Revenue declined by 14% to €76 million. Performance in the first half was impacted by prior logistics disruptions, while the second half showed meaningful improvement supported by restored capacity and better product availability. Wholesale grew 19% year-over-year. Gross margin remained stable at 58%, and contribution loss improved, reflecting enhanced efficiency and continued cost discipline. The appointment of Marco Pozzo as CEO further reinforced the brand’s leadership as it moves into its next phase of recovery.

Sergio Rossi: Revenue declined by 30% to €30 million, reflecting continued softness in DTC and wholesale and cautious market sentiment during a period of creative and operational evolution. Gross margin decreased to 32% due to change in channel mix and lower production scale. Contribution loss increased by ~€3 million, partially mitigated by strict cost control. The brand continued its transition toward an asset-light model, focusing on production restructuring, distribution optimization, and enhanced delivery reliability.

St. John: Revenue declined slightly by 1% to €78 million, while growing in reporting currency by 3%. North America remained strong, supported by continued strength in wholesale and e-commerce (+14% and +25% in its reported currency, respectively). Gross margin remained robust at 69%, and contribution profit improved to €10 million, reflecting disciplined execution and continued supply chain efficiencies. The appointment of Mandy West as CEO further strengthens St. John’s leadership as it continues to build on its strong position in North America.

2026 Outlook

The Group expects to continue on the progress made in the second half of 2025, supported by renewed creative momentum, strengthened leadership across the portfolio and a more focused operating model. In 2026, the Group expects to largely complete its current transformation program, marking an important milestone in its strategic evolution. While the market environment remains uncertain, the actions taken over the past year have laid firmer foundations for improved performance and sustainable long-term growth.

Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “project” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of the respective management of Lanvin Group and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Lanvin Group. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes adversely affecting the business in which Lanvin Group is engaged; Lanvin Group’s projected financial information, anticipated growth rate, profitability and market opportunity may not be an indication of its actual results or future results; management of growth; the impact of COVID-19 or similar public health crises on Lanvin Group’s business; Lanvin Group’s ability to safeguard the value, recognition and reputation of its brands and to identify and respond to new and changing customer preferences; the ability and desire of consumers to shop; Lanvin Group’s ability to successfully implement its business strategies and plans; Lanvin Group’s ability to effectively manage its advertising and marketing expenses and achieve desired impact; its ability to accurately forecast consumer demand; high levels of competition in the personal luxury products market; disruptions to Lanvin Group’s distribution facilities or its distribution partners; Lanvin Group’s ability to negotiate, maintain or renew its license agreements; Lanvin Group’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights; Lanvin Group’s ability to attract and retain qualified employees and preserve craftmanship skills; Lanvin Group’s ability to develop and maintain effective internal controls; general economic conditions; the result of future financing efforts; and those factors discussed in the reports filed by Lanvin Group from time to time with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or Lanvin Group’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Lanvin Group presently does not know, or that Lanvin Group currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Lanvin Group’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication.

These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Lanvin Group’s assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Metrics

This communication includes certain non-IFRS financial measures such as contribution profit, contribution margin, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”), and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. Reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS counterparts are included in the Appendix to this communication. Lanvin Group believes that these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Lanvin Group. Lanvin Group believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Lanvin Group’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Lanvin Group’s non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Lanvin Group does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses, income and tax liabilities that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Lanvin Group’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgements by Lanvin Group about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Lanvin Group presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Definition

Our management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: contribution profit, contribution margin, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve their ability to assess financial performance and financial position. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures that we use may not be comparable to other similarly named measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Contribution profit is defined as revenue less the cost of sales and selling and marketing expenses. Contribution profit subtracts the main variable expenses of selling and marketing expenses from gross profit, and our management believes this measure is an important indicator of profitability at the marginal level. Below contribution profit, the main expenses are general administrative expenses and other operating expenses (which include foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment losses). As we continue to improve the management of our portfolio brands, we believe we can achieve greater economy of scale across the different brands by maintaining the fixed expenses at a lower level as a proportion of revenue. We therefore use contribution profit margin as a key indicator of profitability at the group level as well as the portfolio brand level.

Contribution margin is defined as contribution profit divided by revenue.

Adjusted EBIT is defined as profit or loss before income taxes, net finance cost, share based compensation, adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operational activities, mainly including net gains on disposal of long-term assets, gain on debt restructuring and government grants.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit or loss before income taxes, net finance cost, exchange gains/(losses), depreciation, amortization, share based compensation and provisions and impairment losses adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operational activities, mainly including net gains on disposal of long-term assets, negative goodwill from acquisition of Sergio Rossi, gain on debt restructuring and government grants.

Photon Raises $16M Series A to Give Patients Control Over Their Prescriptions and Bring Transparency to Pharmacy

Published

on

By

Led by Healthier Capital, the funding will accelerate Photon‘s mission to modernize the prescription experience, putting patients in the driver’s seat at the moment that matters most.

BROOKLYN, N.Y., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electronic prescribing transformed how doctors write prescriptions, but created a new problem for patients. At the moment a prescription is written, patients are asked to choose a pharmacy on the spot with no pricing, no inventory information, and no sense of what’s convenient or covered. The prescription is sent, the moment passes, and a choice has been made without the information needed to make it well. The result: transfers, phone calls, and delays that create unnecessary burden for patients, pharmacies, and practitioners alike. Photon was built to solve this at the source.

Photon today announced a $16M Series A round led by Healthier Capital, with participation from Notation, Flare Capital, and Evidenced. The funding will be used to expand the engineering and commercial teams, drive expanded health system and platform integrations, and accelerate the company’s mission to become the default infrastructure for modern prescribing and medication access.

The problem runs deeper than consumer inconvenience. It’s an infrastructure problem rooted in an era before smartphones, the cloud, or AI. Electronic prescribing was designed in the early 2000s to move prescriptions from point A to point B — and it does. But it was never designed to inform patients, serve the expectations of modern prescribers, or keep pace with how pharmacies actually operate today. In virtually every other aspect of their lives, consumers expect real-time transparency: they can see pricing, availability, and delivery windows before they buy anything. The prescription experience offers none of that. When a prescription is sent electronically, the patient is effectively removed from the equation — no visibility into which pharmacy has it in stock, what it will cost out of pocket, or which option is most convenient. That information vacuum sets off a downstream chain of friction: unnecessary transfers, unanswered phone calls, abandoned fills, and administrative burden that ripples across the entire healthcare ecosystem.

Photon is rebuilding the prescription experience from the ground up, not as a pricing widget or a single-point fix, but as a full end-to-end platform. That means:

Modern prescribing and routing infrastructureA network of pharmacy partners across retail and home deliveryA consumer-facing marketplace that surfaces real-time price and stock informationA full suite of capabilities including prior authorization, clinical decision support, and beyond

By integrating at the point of prescribing, Photon gives patients the ability to make an informed choice before the prescription is ever sent. The kind of transparency consumers take for granted everywhere else, finally applied to one of the most consequential moments in their healthcare journey. For health systems, that same platform unlocks something equally valuable: the prescription becomes a patient engagement touchpoint rather than a handoff, in-house pharmacy teams gain real-time visibility into fill activity, and patients can be educated about delivery options and price competitiveness in real time. Artificial intelligence is central to how Photon does this at scale, processing complex, fragmented data across pharmacy networks, benefit structures, and formularies in real time, and translating it into something a patient can actually use. This is not AI as a marketing feature; it’s AI as the engine that makes a genuinely hard infrastructure problem solvable. The result is fewer abandoned prescriptions, fewer reroutes, and a meaningfully better experience for every stakeholder in the chain.

“We’re building prescription infrastructure for the AI era. We’re scaling at a critical juncture where healthcare SaaS and services are being disrupted by LLMs and agentic workflows — right as healthcare affordability and consumer demand for transparency reach a boiling point. We’re leveraging this technology to empower consumers, enable true price transparency, and push the pharmacy industry back toward an open marketplace,” says Otto Sipe, Photon founder and CEO.

“We are delighted to partner with Photon to modernize the prescription process, delivering an improved experience for patients while reducing friction across the entire healthcare system,” said Amir Dan Rubin, Founder & Managing Partner, Healthier Capital.

Photon got its start in direct-to-consumer digital health, building the prescription infrastructure that powers some of the fastest-growing D2C health brands. That foundation — deep integrations across pharmacy networks, real-time formulary data, and a patient-first prescribing experience — proved equally compelling to health systems, where Photon has been growing its presence as those organizations seek better ways to engage patients at the point of care and drive visibility into their in-house pharmacies. Since its founding in 2021, Photon has helped millions of patients make more informed pharmacy decisions. The company’s last fundraise was $9M in July 2024. This round positions Photon to deepen marketplace integrations, expand health system partnerships, and help more consumers take ownership of their prescriptions.

The ambition extends well beyond a single prescribing moment. Photon is building long-term infrastructure designed to ease systemic burden across the healthcare system — for practitioners who shouldn’t have to field reroute calls, for pharmacies drowning in unnecessary transfers, for health systems that want prescriptions to drive patient retention and in-house pharmacy utilization rather than quietly leak volume elsewhere, and for patients who deserve to be informed participants in their own care. AI accelerates that roadmap in a meaningful way: enabling Photon to identify patterns across the system, anticipate points of friction before they occur, and build toward solutions that address the structural conditions causing problems, not just their symptoms.

About Photon Photon is the end-to-end prescription infrastructure built for modern healthcare. Combining proprietary digital prescribing and routing infrastructure, a vast pharmacy network, and a consumer-facing marketplace, Photon brings real-time transparency to the moment a prescription is written, so patients can make an informed choice before it is ever sent. For health systems and providers, Photon reduces administrative burden, supports prior authorization and patient support workflows, and turns the prescribing moment into a driver of patient engagement and in-house pharmacy utilization. By modernizing the infrastructure that connects prescribers, pharmacies, and patients, Photon improves medication access and adherence across the entire care journey. Learn more at photonhealth.com.

Mesh Doubles Down on Asia-Pacific Expansion, Appointing Jason Ne Win as CEO of APAC

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mesh, the leading universal crypto payments network, today announced the appointment of Jason Ne Win as the company’s first CEO of APAC. The move signals a major strategic expansion for Mesh into the Asia-Pacific region, coming on the heels of the company’s recent $75 million Series C funding round and its milestone $1 billion unicorn valuation.

In his new role, Ne Win will spearhead Mesh’s regional growth strategy, focusing on scaling localized payment rails, and deepening integrations with the region’s largest digital wallets and financial institutions. As the global landscape for digital assets shifts from speculation to real-world utility, APAC has emerged as an engine for crypto-native financial infrastructure. According to McKinsey, Stablecoin payments sent from Asia represent the largest source of volume, accounting for about $245 billion in payments, or 60 percent of the total.

“The APAC region is home to an incredibly tech-savvy population and a massive stablecoin market,” said Bam Azizi, Co-founder and CEO of Mesh. “Asia is not just a market for us; it is a frontier of the tokenized economy. Jason’s relationships and deep expertise in navigating APAC will position Mesh strongly as we enter this next phase of growth and position us to lead the way in seamless and compliant crypto payments across the region.”

Ne Win brings over a decade of experience across executive leadership, strategy, and market expansion. Most recently, Ne Win spent five years at Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, serving as Chief of Staff to two successive CEOs – Changpeng Zhao and Richard Teng. Alongside that role, he led global government relations, enterprise strategy and planning, central project management, and high-stakes crisis response, operating across multiple markets regionally and globally during one of the most consequential periods in digital assets history.

“APAC is home, and joining Mesh feels like the right move at the right moment,” said Jason Ne Win. “The infrastructure for crypto payments across the region is still being written, and Mesh has the product, the team, and the backing to define it. I’m excited to build and scale something that genuinely works for businesses and consumers across the region, not just in the major markets.”

This appointment follows a period of rapid momentum for Mesh. In the last year, Mesh has expanded into additional regions such as Latin America and Europe, fueling product development and strengthening a global network. The company’s infrastructure is used by leading platforms including PayPal, MetaMask, Revolut, and Shift4, serving more than 900 million users worldwide.

About Mesh

Founded in 2020, Mesh is building the first global crypto payments network, connecting hundreds of exchanges, wallets, and financial services platforms to enable seamless digital asset payments and conversions. By unifying these platforms into a single network, Mesh is pioneering an open, connected, and secure ecosystem for digital finance. For more information, visit https://meshpay.com/.
