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.

Finloop Launches “RWA CONNECT 2026” to Build a Global Open-Source RWA Ecosystem

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the “Connecting the World: Hong Kong RWA Infrastructure Ecosystem Seminar and RWA CONNECT 2026 Launch” held in Hong Kong, Finloop Finance Technology Holding Limited (“Finloop”) announced the official launch of a global open ecosystem community “RWA CONNECT 2026”. At the event, industry leaders from around the world engaged in in-depth discussions with topics such as Hong Kong stablecoins, RWA (real-world assets), and compliant innovation. Finloop took the lead in announcing its open-source ecosystem initiative, and presented a major commitment to a RWA technology service platform, marking that new issuance through RWA tokenization has officially entered the “Thousand-US Dollar Era”.

RWA CONNECT Core Philosophy: Open Source, Co-Creation, and Think-Tank Orientation

The event was jointly organized by Finloop, Fosun Wealth Holdings, FinChain, and ME Group. It brought together numerous elites from government, academia, finance, Web3, and media sectors. During the event, Mr. Cai Hua, CEO of Finloop, announced that “RWA CONNECT 2026” has officially kicked off. From the day onward, for any new issuance project adopting FinRWA Platform (FRP) 3.0 as a one-stop RWA system foundation, the technology system cost can be reduced to as low as US$3,000. This means that tokenization services, which were once expensive and difficult to access, have now transformed into transparent and professional offerings.

Mr. Cai Hua pointed out that Finloop is actively leveraging Hong Kong’s unique position as a “super connector” to launch RWA CONNECT. The initiative aims to address the “pain points” of information asymmetry across the entire RWA lifecycle — issuance, listing, and distribution — while building a “triple bridge” connecting Hong Kong and global markets, capital and real-world assets, as well as Web2 and Web3. He also unveiled Finloop’s three major ecological openness commitments:

Disclosure of compliant issuance processes and frameworks to promote industry-wide standardization and transparency;Transparency of technology platform costs, making them verifiable and predictable;Unified promotion of onboarded project assets to the global exchanges and compliant financial institutions connected by Finloop, while open-sourcing core solutions to ecosystem partners.

“Hong Kong’s RWA shall go global, connect globally, and integrate into the international system to achieve true long-term value,” Mr. Cai Hua emphasized. “The core philosophy of RWA CONNECT is open source, co-creation, and think-tank orientation. By opening our solutions, service processes, and standard mechanisms, we aim to build this community into a shared industry think tank. At the same time, we will fully respect and protect the proprietary technologies and business confidentiality of all partner institutions. In the future, RWA CONNECT will continue to invite high-quality, compliant RWA infrastructure providers, project parties, and institutions from around the world to become ecosystem partners, and jointly help Hong Kong’s Web3.0 industry reach global heights.”

FRP 3.0: The Hardcore Technology Powering the “Thousand-US Dollar Era”

The core technology enabling this cost breakthrough is the FinRWA Platform (FRP) 3.0, developed by Finloop. With compliance at its core, collaboration as its engine, and transparency as its safeguard, the platform provides a complete end-to-end closed loop for RWA products — from issuance and token minting & burning, to listing and on-chain circulation. It supports multi-party collaboration across the full tokenization lifecycle, including issuers, custodians, and token agents. Compared to the previous version 2.0, FRP 3.0 introduces new FinGo features for the C-end (retail customers) by empowering traditional securities firms and enabling their customers subscribe to RWA products with a single click. It also enhances FinMix mid-office capabilities, enabling centralized order scheduling and real-time status synchronization, delivering seamless interoperability from fiat currency to RWA products and from off-chain to on-chain.

Top Global Lineup Gathers to Build the Foundation of the RWA Ecosystem

This event gathered top forces from policy, academia, legal, and industry sectors. Mr. Bryan Peng, Executive Director of the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) of the Hong Kong SAR Government, Professor Lin Chen, Vice-President of The University of Hong Kong, and Mr. David Wang, Partner at Jun He Law Offices, were invited to attend and deliver keynote speeches from the perspectives of Hong Kong fintech policy & competitive advantages, academic insights, and compliance frameworks, laying a solid foundation for the development of the RWA ecosystem.

In the announcement segment, OmniRealm, in collaboration with Frost & Sullivan, officially launched Hong Kong’s first RWA rating platform, marking a key step forward in industry standardization. Three cross-sector roundtables were also held on the themes of “Dual-Currency Drive • Digital-Real Integration: Outlook on Hong Kong’s Digital Hong Kong Dollar and Stablecoin Ecosystem”, “Regulatory and Risk Control Synergy: Building a Trustworthy RWA Foundation”, and “Harnessing Collective RWA Ecosystem Strength: Establishing Hong Kong as a New Global Digital Asset Hub”. Distinguished participants included representatives from leading domestic and international institutions such as China Asset Management (Hong Kong), HashKey, Anchorpoint, OASES, Greaterbay Financier Association, SlowMist, Conflux, Beosin, Hivemind Capital, Vobile Group, Ava Labs, KuCoin, and exSat. They engaged in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics, demonstrating the growing global influence and collaborative momentum within the RWA sector.

RWA CONNECT 2026 officially invites all participants to co-create the future of RWA in Hong Kong!

Fisher & Paykel Unveils Nature–Ritual at EuroCucina 2026, Elevating Everyday Routines into Timeless Rituals

Published

MILAN, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fisher & Paykel, the luxury appliance brand from Aotearoa New Zealand and part of Haier Group global portfolio, has unveiled Nature—Ritual at EuroCucina in Milan.

The 450m² immersive installation introduces the brand’s State of the Art Collection within a sculptural environment inspired by elemental landscapes of New Zealand. At its heart is a simple idea: thoughtful design can elevate routines into meaningful rituals.

Throughout Nature—Ritual, appliances are presented not as standalone objects, but as part of an architecture of living – expressing Fisher & Paykel’s approach to life-centred luxury, where design expression, product intelligence and performance come together to elevate life in the home.

Nature—Ritual also introduces the evolution of Fisher & Paykel’s Minimal Style – a refined expression of minimalism in black or grey glass, defined by flush surfaces, very slight perimeter gaps around appliances, and carefully resolved details. Presented across cooking, fabric care and the wider architectural language of the installation, it reflects the brand’s commitment to supporting architects and designers seeking to create the most resolved and carefully considered spaces.

Daniel Witten-Hannah, Chief Executive Officer of Fisher & Paykel, says the exhibition reflects the company’s point of origin, point of view and ambition on Milan’s global stage.

“Nature—Ritual expresses our belief that the best design is connected to place, shaped by human need and resolved with clarity. “

“Through seamless integration, product intelligence and beautifully resolved materials, it reflects our belief that products engineered for life reduce friction, engage the senses and elevate everyday routines into rituals in the home. “

Creative direction for Nature—Ritual and all sculptural elements was led by Dean Poole of Alt Group, with exhibition design by Calvi Brambilla and Partners in Milan.

Conceived as an oasis of calm within the intensity of EuroCucina, the installation brings together monolithic forms, seamlessly integrated appliances and a layered sensory environment wrapped in a forest-like cloak.

Poole describes Nature—Ritual as an expression of Fisher & Paykel’s worldview.

“It distils the qualities of untouched forest and a deep understanding of life in the home into a warm, tactile minimalism, expressed through just two materials.”

“It is not simply an exhibition of appliances, it’s an exploration of life-centred design that shows how nature, elemental materials and human behaviour come together to give greater meaning to the way we live,” Poole says.

From the exterior, Nature—Ritual presents as a subtly textured monolithic form. Through carefully framed apertures, visitors catch first glimpses of a forest-wrapped interior.

Inside, four scenarios unfold, each crafted from tōtara – a timber indigenous to New Zealand – and volcanic basalt. Bespoke ceramic elements by artist Aaron Scythe, alongside birdsong, scent, light and a high-resolution back-lit forest curtain, create a deeply immersive environment.

Throughout, appliances from Fisher & Paykel’s State of the Art Collection are integrated into four scenarios and five product sculptures as sculptural, high-performance tools for living.

Four scenarios:

Tea Experience

At the threshold, visitors are welcomed with tea — a universal gesture of hospitality. Kawakawa tea, associated with wellbeing, is gently steeped on a monumental slab of induction-heated stone and served in handmade ceramic vessels beside a product sculpture rising four metres to the ceiling.

Product highlight: Fisher & Paykel’s Red Dot Award ‘Best of the Best’ Series 11 60cm Minimal Style ovens presented within carved tōtara surrounds.

The Kitchen as Monolith

Presents the kitchen as a singular architectural presence, with carved tōtara surfaces and basalt forms framing seamlessly integrated food care and wine care solutions. A modular induction cooktop fits flush with the basalt surface, and DishDrawer™ Dishwashers with 20mm stone fronts present the kitchen as a unified design composition rather than a collection of parts.

Product highlight: The Milan debut of Fisher & Paykel’s Series 11 30″ Minimal Style oven with steam assist.

Wine Experience

Shaped by curved and carved tōtara forms, the Wine Experience illustrates the potential of architectural cellaring and tasting within the home. Seamlessly integrated Column Wine Cabinets with precise temperature control and tasting modes heighten the experience of preservation and service.

Product highlight: 61cm Series 11 Integrated Column Wine Cabinet, the building block of the architectural wine cellar.

Fabric Care Experience

The Milan debut of Fisher & Paykel’s new minimalist fabric care ecosystem represents a step change in garment care. Designed as an extension of the luxury wardrobe, fibre-specific treatments, steam care and intelligent sensing technologies preserve the condition of cherished garments. A garment commission by fashion designer Claudia Li completes the installation.

Product highlight: The fashion wardrobe’s ultimate accessory, the Series 11 Minimal Style Fabric Care Cabinet is designed with flush glass surfaces and refined surfaces, seamlessly integrating into the home while bringing an elevated architectural aesthetic to fabric care spaces.

Throughout Nature—Ritual, the State of the Art Collection showcases Fisher & Paykel’s approach to seamless integration, modular planning and Mastery of Temperature.

Each appliance is built on advanced product platforms that combine sensing technology with deep insights from food and fibre science to precisely control the mechanical systems that shape performance and results.

As the premium brand within Haier Group’s global home appliances portfolio, Fisher & Paykel’s strong presence reflects the group’s broader commitment to premium lifestyle and human-centered living experiences. This vision is further extended through Haier’s own presence at Milan Design Week, where a six-zone immersive experience blends design, adaptive technology, and smart ecosystems, placing visitors at the center of connected living.

Within this exhibition space, a dedicated Partner Area invites visitors into an immersive, multi-sensory environment. Through interactive activation inspired by Haier’s collaborations with top-tier football clubs – Liverpool Football Club and Paris Saint-Germain – the space brings to life a shared pursuit of excellence, performance, and innovation, while conveying a premium, champion-inspired lifestyle experience.

Since establishing its presence in Europe in the 1990s, Haier has continuously elevated its premium lifestyle offerings and now serves more than 45 markets across the region. Committed to pioneering superior living experiences through cutting-edge design and intelligent ecosystems, Haier remains dedicated to shaping the future of high-end connected living for consumers worldwide.
