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.

LiLic Sidecar Debuts at YOTTA 2026 as Vision Group Showcases New Power Solutions for AI Infrastructure
Published
1 hour agoon
October 4, 2026By
LAS VEGAS and NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vision Group showcased its portfolio of AI data center (AIDC) power and energy storage products at YOTTA 2026 in Las Vegas on September 29–30, marking the first public appearance of LiLic Sidecar. Addressing the growing need for high-power delivery, flexible backup power, and integrated backup and energy storage, the company presented LiLic Sidecar, its high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power solution, battery backup units (BBU), and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Together, these solutions demonstrate a multilayered portfolio spanning battery backup, high-voltage DC power, and energy storage applications.
As AI infrastructure moves toward higher power densities, power systems must do more than provide protection during outages. They must also accommodate rapidly changing loads while addressing space utilization, power efficiency, and deployment timelines. At YOTTA 2026, Vision Group presented new products and system solutions designed to meet these requirements, bringing its technologies across battery cells, backup power equipment, and power supply and distribution systems to the global data center community.
LiLic Sidecar: Combining Transient Power Support with Sustained Backup
A key highlight of Vision Group’s exhibit, LiLic Sidecar is designed for high-power-density AI data centers. It connects directly to an 800V DC busbar (±400V) and is compatible with the OCP ORV4 open rack standard, offering a new backup power option for high-voltage DC architectures.
To address both frequent AI load fluctuations and power interruptions, LiLic Sidecar uses a hybrid cell design that combines the pulse-cycling characteristics of lithium-ion capacitors (LIC) with the backup capabilities of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. It integrates power fluctuation smoothing and short-duration backup within a single system. In a five-module operating configuration, each cabinet delivers 1MW of rated discharge power and at least 60 seconds of backup at a 1MW load, providing reserve energy for high-power compute racks.
LiLic Sidecar features an All-in-One design that integrates power functions associated with CBU and BBU systems. By addressing requirements across multiple timescales—from transient response to short-duration backup—it reduces the space required for separately deployed equipment. Its integrated battery management system (BMS) and DC/DC design further reduces external connectors and cable interconnection points, simplifying system connections. Hot-swappable modules facilitate maintenance and replacement.
For thermal management, the product combines immersion cooling with cold-plate cooling. An electrically insulating, flame-retardant immersion coolant works alongside cold plates to address electrical safety and heat dissipation requirements in high-voltage environments. This hybrid liquid-cooling approach improves temperature uniformity across cells and supports stable system operation.
Discussing the innovation behind LiLic Sidecar, Tom Qin, Vice President of Strategy and Business Management at Vision Group, said in an interview: “This is more than a product. It represents a new path for Vision Group to redefine AIDC backup power architecture.”
This approach reflects the company’s efforts to jointly optimize power response, backup capability, and system integration around the operating characteristics of AI loads.
From Backup Power to Campus Energy: Matching Solutions to Different Deployment Needs
Vision Group also showcased HVDC, BBU, and BESS solutions to address power and energy storage requirements at different levels, giving customers multiple options for architecture selection, project deployment, and operational management.
HVDC: Supporting 800V Power Architectures
Vision Group’s HVDC solution uses an 800V high-voltage DC architecture to address AI data centers’ demand for efficient power delivery. The solution has been deployed at a hyperscale AI data center in Ulanqab, providing practical project experience to support further deployment of the company’s high-voltage DC energy storage and backup power systems.
BBU: Bringing Backup Power Closer to the Load
Battery backup units extend power protection to the load side. The 72kW BBU presented at the event features a compact 2RU design and a 5+1 redundant architecture, delivering high-density backup power within a limited footprint. It also incorporates three levels of fire safety protection—at the cell, module, and system levels—to provide multilayered safeguards for backup power deployed close to computing loads.
BESS: Extending Energy Value Beyond Backup
Vision Group’s BESS portfolio includes 5.015MWh and 6.48MWh liquid-cooled battery energy storage containers, as well as a 215kWh immersion-cooled battery energy storage cabinet, addressing energy storage needs at different scales. Where backup capacity and operating requirements are met, available surplus capacity can support peak shaving and valley filling, extending the value of integrated backup power and energy storage.
Safety and Reliability as the Foundation for High-Density Computing
During an industry media interview at the event, Tom Qin emphasized: “In AI data centers, high power density is important, but safety and reliability will always be Vision Group’s first principle.”
He noted that the highly dynamic nature of AI loads places greater demands on the long-term stability of power systems, making safety essential throughout the product lifecycle.
Citing the large-scale indoor fire test of Vision Group’s REVO 3.0 lithium battery system for UPS applications, Qin described the company’s approach to validating system-level safety under extreme conditions. From fire testing to the BBU’s multilayered fire protection, Vision Group incorporates safety requirements into both product design and validation to support continuous, stable power delivery in high-density data centers.
Strengthening Its North American Presence with Global Delivery Capabilities
Beyond product innovation, global delivery and localized service were also key topics in the interview.
“North America is a strategic market for Vision Group and will be a key focus of our future efforts,” Tom Qin said.
Serving global cloud providers and data center operators, Vision Group will continue to strengthen its technological innovation, delivery, and service capabilities while deepening collaboration with industry partners.
Founded in 1994, Vision Group has built extensive experience in backup power, with a business presence spanning more than 100 countries and regions. Supported by manufacturing facilities in Vietnam and other locations, together with its overseas service network, the company provides delivery, compliance certification, and after-sales support. It also maintains collaborations with companies including Eaton, Vertiv, Schneider Electric, and Delta to align its products and solutions with customers’ practical application requirements.
From the debut of LiLic Sidecar to its multilayered HVDC, BBU, and BESS portfolio, Vision Group is advancing its “All in AIDC” strategy by expanding from individual backup power products to integrated power supply and distribution solutions. Its appearance at YOTTA 2026 highlighted the company’s AIDC technologies and product portfolio while providing an opportunity to deepen engagement in North America and expand collaboration across the global industry ecosystem.

Naples roofer founded in 1972 now holds three Florida state contractor licenses and has completed more than 3,000 roofs in the past three years
NAPLES, Fla., Oct. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Green Coast Roofing and Solar, a family-owned roofing and solar contractor serving Southwest Florida since 1972, today announced the launch of its redesigned website at gogreencoast.com, alongside a look back at the values that have carried the company through 54 years and multiple major hurricanes.
Brian Sujevich is a second-generation contractor in Naples whose business is built on a solid foundation of hard work, good ethics, and old-school principles. He grew up in the trade, spending weekends and summers on job sites before earning a degree in construction management from the University of North Florida. Family-run and operated for more than 50 years, the company continues to bring that same commitment to every project.
“I always knew I wanted to run my own business one day,” said Sujevich. “Now I get to live that dream every day here in Naples. With two kids of my own, I’m passing down the same principles that built this company so they’ll be ready to carry it forward too.”
Green Coast holds three Florida state contractor licenses — Roofing Contractor, General Contractor, and Solar Contractor — a combination few companies in the region can match. That triple licensure allows the company to handle roof replacements, storm damage repairs, and solar installations under one roof, without subcontracting critical work.
In the past three years alone, Green Coast has completed more than 3,000 roofs across Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, and surrounding communities, including significant storm-recovery work following Hurricane Ian in 2022.
“We combine old-school family values with modern technology,” Sujevich said. “Our job is to protect Southwest Florida homes and businesses for generations, the same way my dad did.”
The new gogreencoast.com offers detailed information on residential and commercial roofing, roof repair, and metal roofing services, along with a simple way for homeowners to request an estimate.

Rising Bantamweight Talent Talbott Secures First-Round TKO Victory Over Brazilian MMA Icon, Earns $25,000 Finish Bonus30-Year-Old Esteban Ribovics from Argentina Stops King Green in Round 1 34-Year-Old Johnny Walker from Brazil Earns First-Round KO Victory over Mick Parkin in Heavyweight Division Debut, Receives $100,000 Performance of the Night Bonus
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Big night in SLC! Monster Energy congratulates MMA athlete Payton Talbott on defeating Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday night. In the Co-Main Event fight contested in the bantamweight division, the 28-year-old from Reno, Nevada, earned a thundering first-round TKO victory over the former UFC world champion. Talbot also received a $25,000 Finish Bonus for his stoppage victory.
Also on the Main Card, 30-year-old Esteban Ribovics from Tartagal, Argentina, stopped his Monster Energy teammate, 40-year-old Bobby “King” Green from San Bernardino, California, via TKO in the first round of their catchweight matchup. In the night’s Early Prelims, 34-year-old Johnny Walker from Rio Branco, Brazil, earned a dominant first-round KO victory over Mick Parkin in his heavyweight division debut. Walker also took home a $100,000 Performance of the Night Bonus for the brutal finish.
UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang was contested in front of a live crowd inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Featuring a total of five bouts on the Main Card and nine Prelims matchups, UFC 332 was broadcast live on Paramount+.
In Saturday night’s Co-Main Event fight, Monster Energy’s Talbott (12-1), came to Salt Lake City looking to score the biggest career win of his young UFC tenure. Talbott was riding a two-win streak after most recently defeating former two-division champion Henry Cejudo via unanimous decision at UFC 323 in December 2025.
Talbott’s opponent, Brazilian MMA icon Figueiredo (25-8-1), stepped into the Octagon to get back in the victory column after most recently suffering a submission loss against Song Yadong at a UFC Fight Night in May 2026. Now the former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion presented the biggest challenge to date for rising prospect Talbott.
Talbott started the fight in attack mode, pursuing the Brazilian and finding openings for heavy shots that landed. In a flurry of punches, Talbott landed a straight right hand that sent Figueiredo to the mat, although he immediately recovered. But it was a losing battle…
In another key scene, Talbott took Figueiredo down with a knee to the head, but the Brazilian survived by engaging in a body lock to slow the pace. Then it was all over as Talbott broke from the clinch to overwhelm Figueiredo again with one-two combos and punches from above until the Brazilian was left defenseless. At 2:09 of Round 1, referee Jason Herzog stopped the contest, pronouncing Talbott as the winner by TKO.
“Extremely happy,” said Monster Energy’s Talbott after securing the TKO win at UFC 332, adding: “I just mopped the floor with two champions back-to-back. And I want another one! Sean O’Malley, you can’t run forever! Give the people what they want.” Stay tuned for more from Talbott!
Earlier on the Main Card, two Monster Energy teammates faced off in a highly anticipated matchup. Argentinian knockout artist Ribovics (17-3) was riding high off a devastating second-round TKO victory over UFC veteran Edson Barboza at UFC 330 in August 2026. Nicknamed “El Gringo,” the Argentinian lightweight arrived at UFC 332 looking to climb into the lightweight top 15 with another signature performance.
Ribovics faced fellow Monster Energy athlete and lightweight division veteran Green (36-18-1), currently on a four-fight victory streak. Most recently, “King Green” earned a Performance of the Night bonus for a buzzer-beating first-round stoppage of Terrance McKinney at UFC 329 in July. The fight between Green and Ribovics had to be contested at catchweight after Ribovics missed weight at the ceremonial weigh-ins, adding to the pre-fight anticipation.
The fight opened at a fast pace as both fighters clashed in the middle of the Octagon, trading low kicks. Ribovics fired off quick combos and stung Green with a precise left hand early in the round. Setting the tempo, Ribovics kept the pressure on and landed a knee to the body before Green slowed the action by initiating a clinch.
With Green staying loose and attacking from a distance, Ribovics shot forward but absorbed a right jab to the face. The fight then unraveled as Ribovics dropped Green with a heavy left hook. Although Green recovered to his feet, Ribovics instantly kept raining combos and once again floored Green with another harsh left.
Although Green came back to his feet, Ribovics connected with another left that sent his opponent to the canvas a third time within moments. Having seen enough, referee Herb Dean stepped in to stop the fight at 4:08 of Round 1 with Ribovics as the winner by TKO.
“I love you, SLC. Sorry I missed weight! I don’t want to be the guy. Next time I’m going to be more professional,” said Monster Energy’s Ribovics upon winning at UFC 332. “I train hard every day to bring violence to the Octagon.”
Speaking of violence, there was one more first-round finish for the team at UFC 332. In the Early Prelims, Monster Energy’s Walker (23-10) came to Salt Lake City making his official heavyweight debut after a decorated career in the Light Heavyweight division. Walker earned a reputation as one of the UFC’s most exciting knockout artists at 205 pounds and was looking for a fresh start after losing his last Light Heavyweight bout to Dominick Reyes at UFC 327 in April.
Walker’s opponent, Mick Parkin (10-2), stepped into the Octagon as one of the UFC’s most promising heavyweight prospects. The British grappling expert came to UFC 332 looking for redemption after suffering his first career loss in his most recent fight against Marcin Tybura at UFC London in March 2025. But he had to get past Walker to make it happen!
The heavyweight showdown opened with Walker setting the tone from the opening bell, pressing the action with his signature striking and heavy hands. Then it was over really quickly! As Parkin closed the distance and engaged Walker in a clinch, the Brazilian asserted his dominance with a fast elbow followed by two consecutive knees that sent the British prospect crashing to the canvas. Game over! With Parkin unable to recover, the referee stepped in to end the fight at 3:35 of the opening round, awarding Walker the KO victory in his heavyweight debut.
“I don’t think there’s any heavyweight that can fight like me,” said Monster Energy’s Walker after his win at UFC 332.
Back in the winner’s circle, Walker just made a resounding statement about his future in the Heavyweight division, where his signature knockout power makes him an immediate threat. Stay tuned!
