Schedule 1
The statements above and financial information provided in this earnings release include non-GAAP measures of operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share. Management excludes from these measures stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and integration expenses, impairment charges, amortization charges and other unusual or infrequent items, as adjusted for taxes, as more fully described below.
Management excludes these items principally because such charges or benefits are not directly related to the Company’s ongoing core business operations. We use such non-GAAP measures in order to (1) make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operations, both internally and externally, (2) guide management in assessing the performance of the business, internally allocating resources and making decisions in furtherance of Company’s strategic plan, (3) provide investors with a better understanding of how management plans and measures the business and (4) provide investors with a better understanding of our ongoing, core business. The material limitations to management’s approach include the fact that the charges, benefits and expenses excluded are nonetheless charges, benefits and expenses required to be recognized under GAAP and, in some cases, consume cash which reduces the Company’s liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations primarily by reviewing GAAP results to obtain a complete picture of the Company’s performance and by including a reconciliation of non-GAAP results to GAAP results in its earnings releases.
Additional information regarding the economic substance of each exclusion, management’s use of the resultant non-GAAP measures, the material limitations of management’s approach and management’s methods for compensating for such limitations is provided below.
Stock-based Compensation Expense, which consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of equity awards granted to employees and directors, is excluded in order to permit more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s results since the Company grants different amounts and value of equity awards each quarter. In addition, given the fact that competitors grant different amounts and types of equity awards and may use different valuation assumptions, excluding stock-based compensation permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors.
Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Expenses, which consist of employee severance, lease termination costs, exit costs, environmental investigation, remediation and related employee costs and other charges primarily related to closing and consolidating manufacturing facilities and those associated with the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, are excluded because such charges (1) can be driven by the timing of acquisitions and exit activities which are difficult to predict, (2) are not directly related to ongoing business results and (3) generally do not reflect expected future operating expenses. In addition, given the fact that the Company’s competitors complete acquisitions and adopt restructuring plans at different times and in different amounts than the Company, excluding these charges or benefits permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors. Items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company’s competitors and restructuring and integration expenses include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company’s liquidity. Therefore, management also reviews GAAP results including these amounts.
Impairment Charges for Goodwill and Other Assets, which consist of non-cash charges, are excluded because such charges are non-recurring and do not reduce the Company’s liquidity. In addition, given the fact that the Company’s competitors may record impairment charges at different times, excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors.
Amortization Charges, which consist of non-cash charges impacted by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions of businesses or assets, are also excluded because such charges do not reduce the Company’s liquidity. In addition, such charges can be driven by the timing of acquisitions, which is difficult to predict. Excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors because the Company’s competitors complete acquisitions at different times and for different amounts than the Company.
Other Unusual or Infrequent Items, such as charges or benefits associated with distressed customers, expenses, charges and recoveries relating to certain legal matters, and gains and losses on sales of assets, are excluded because such items are typically non-recurring, difficult to predict or not directly related to the Company’s ongoing or core operations and are therefore not considered by management in assessing the current operating performance of the Company and forecasting earnings trends. However, items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company’s competitors. In addition, these items include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company’s liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations by reviewing GAAP results including these amounts.
Adjustments for Taxes, which consist of the tax effects of the various adjustments that we exclude from our non-GAAP measures, and adjustments related to deferred tax and discrete tax items. Including these adjustments permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s core results with those of its competitors. We determine the tax adjustments based upon the various applicable effective tax rates. In those jurisdictions in which we do not expect to realize a tax cost or benefit (due to a history of operating losses or other factors), a reduced tax rate is applied.

Resolving the Rural Care Divide Through Compassion and Collaboration
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — An upcoming Public Television program will examine how community-based behavioral health initiatives resolve geographic isolation and systemic trauma through integrated local support.
Highlands Community Services will be featured in an upcoming Public Television segment of “All Access hosted by Andy Garcia” focusing on quality behavioral health solutions. The educational broadcast examines how trauma-informed treatment models resolve long-standing barriers to mental health and addiction recovery in rural areas.

The production highlights how utilizing community partner and patient feedback addresses systemic service gaps. Highlands Community Services shares how focusing on a comprehensive system of care enables clinical leaders to refine services, crisis intervention programs and workforce development initiatives. The segment demonstrates how evidence-based care models replace institutional fragmentation with sustainable personal healing, building stronger and healthier local communities.

Our primary focus is to develop and provide a quality, sustainable, and responsive service array to meet the behavioral health needs of our community. Regardless of diagnosis or demographics, individuals should have consistent access to industry-leading, quality care close to home.” Rebecca Holmes, Executive Director of Highlands Community Services

The Hashgraph Group and Merck with support from PwC Germany develop solution for cocoa traceability and digital product passports
Published

September 8, 2026By
Integrated solution combines physical authentication, Hedera-powered traceability and enterprise process design to strengthen cocoa transparency, quality assurance, compliance readiness and consumer trust.
SCHWYZ, Switzerland, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Hashgraph Group (THG) and science and technology company Merck, are piloting a cocoa traceability solution, with PwC Germany providing consulting and implementation support. The solution connects physical product authentication with blockchain-based digital records and enterprise process design.
The solution combines THG’s TrackTrace Digital Product Passport platform, Merck’s M-Trust™ physical authentication technology and PwC Germany’s consulting and implementation experience to help verify cocoa origin, authenticity, quality, food recall needs, and compliance data from farm to consumer.
The initiative responds to rising regulatory pressure and persistent data fragmentation across cocoa supply chains. By linking each physical batch to a trusted digital identity, the solution demonstrates how brands, processors and manufacturers can improve traceability, auditability and stakeholder transparency across the value chain.
Why cocoa traceability solutions matter
Cocoa supply chains are complex and difficult to verify. Millions of smallholder farms produce most of the world’s cocoa, with significant volumes moving through indirect supply chains before reaching processors and brands. Before there was no end-to-end digital solution and proof covering the first mile to chocolate production, today there is with THG, Merck, and PwC Germany’s solution.
How Cocoa Traceability Solutions supports EUDR regulations
The solution is designed to help cocoa value chain participants prepare for EUDR-related deforestation due diligence and the broader shift toward Digital Product Passports under ESPR. By linking cocoa products to origin, chain-of-custody, authentication and due diligence data, and quality controls, the solution can help companies demonstrate that products are deforestation-free, legally produced and supported by verifiable production-area information.
For processors, manufacturers and brands, the approach can reduce manual reconciliation, improve audit readiness and support faster, more targeted action during quality or recall events. It also creates a foundation for sharing trusted product data with authorised stakeholders and, where appropriate, with consumers.
What is the THG, Merck and PwC solution
The solution creates an individual Passport for each sellable item such as cocoa by anchoring real-world product and process events to a digital twin. TrackTrace records origin, supply chain, quality and compliance data on Hedera, while Merck’s M-Trust™ technology confirms that the physical product or package being scanned is genuine. PwC Germany supports the operating model by helping define the business processes, governance, workflows and training required for enterprise deployment.
At each handover or verification point, the individual Passport can be enriched with product identity, origin data, quality records, certificates, due diligence documentation and authentication events. Authorised stakeholders can access a verifiable chain of proof, while selected information can be shared with consumers through QR-code or scan-based experiences.
How does the solution track each verification point?
The solution creates a digital twin for each cocoa batch or product unit. At defined verification points, product events are captured through scans, system integrations or process inputs. M-Trust™ verifies the raw material, physical product and packaging, TrackTrace structures the event data and Hedera provides a trusted distributed ledger layer for timestamping and auditability.
How scalable is the Solution?
While cocoa is the initial showcase, the architecture is designed for broader use in sectors where provenance, authenticity, quality and regulatory compliance are critical, including food, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, electronics and industrial components.
The solution also highlights the importance of implementation readiness. Beyond technology integration, scalable deployment requires clear operating procedures, partner onboarding, training, controls, data governance and change management.
What are the Partner Roles
The Hashgraph Group provides TrackTrace, the Hedera-powered Digital Product Passport and traceability platform that creates the digital twin, anchors key events and enables a tamper-proof audit trail across the cocoa value chain.
Merck provides the M-Trust™ layer, the physical authentication technology that uses secure markers and scanning devices to verify that the physical product or packaging corresponds to the digital record.
PwC Germany contributes to understanding the real business problems across the value chain, supports business process design, and helps develop use cases that translate problems into practical technology solutions.
Executive commentary
“This solution shows how cocoa traceability can move beyond fragmented documentation and self-declared claims,” said Stefan Deiss, CEO and Co-Founder of The Hashgraph Group. “By integrating TrackTrace with Merck’s M-Trust™ technology and PwC’s process expertise, we can link any physical product, not limited to cocoa, to a trusted digital record. This integration provides enterprises with a more robust foundation for compliance, quality assurance, and consumer trust.”
“Digital traceability only delivers its full value when it is connected to physical proof,” said Thomas Endress, Executive Director, Head of M-Trust™ at Merck. “M-Trust™ verifies that the product being scanned is genuine, while TrackTrace records that authentication event as part of the product’s digital history.”
“TrackTrace, enabled by M-Trust™, is redefining product compliance and customer engagement. It addresses a critical challenge faced by cocoa processors—maintaining a verifiable trail not only of the finished product, but also of its raw materials, including their quality and compliance history. This proves to be a genuine game changer in the event of a food recall or a compliance investigation.

Reinforcing its commitment to transforming CX through AI-powered dynamic, human-like responses
TOKYO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — transcosmos today announced the official launch of trans-AI Chat, a generative AI-powered chatbot, in Indonesia. Unlike conventional chatbots that rely on predefined scripts and conversation flows, trans-AI Chat leverages the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to understand conversational context, recognize customer intent, and generate dynamic, human-like responses.
The solution offers a range of intelligent capabilities that enable organizations to create more proactive, data-driven customer experiences. These include AI Follow-up Message Automation, which automatically sends personalized follow-up messages such as order status updates or product recommendations based on previous interactions; AI Evaluation, which continuously monitors AI responses to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with the company’s knowledge base; and Unknown Keyword Detection, which automatically identifies new questions, phrases, or topics the AI cannot yet answer, enabling organizations to continuously enrich and improve their knowledge base.
One of trans-AI Chat’s key differentiators is its intelligent escalation capability, which seamlessly transfers conversations to human agents whenever empathy, complex decision-making, or specialized support is required. The complete conversation history and contextual information are automatically passed to the agent, eliminating the need for customers to repeat themselves. Developed around the concept of collaborative intelligence, this approach enables seamless collaboration between AI and human agents while ensuring a consistently high-quality customer experience across every touchpoint. Designed with high implementation flexibility, trans-AI Chat can be deployed across a wide range of industries, including banking, telecommunications, retail, FMCG, and automotive. The solution is particularly well suited for managing high volumes of customer interactions, ranging from financial service simulations and account management to interactive lead qualification.
As a leading CX and digital business services provider, transcosmos delivers integrated solutions that support various aspects of clients’ business operations in the Indonesian market. The company has earned several accolades, including Platinum Winner for Contact Center Operations and Silver Winner for Employee Engagement at the ICCA Awards—cementing its role as a key player in Indonesia’s CX and BPO industries. transcosmos reaffirms its ambition to be a strategic partner for digital transformation in Indonesia.
