Published

on

LG Energy Solution posts KRW 6.6 trillion in consolidated revenue and KRW 207.8 billion in operating loss in Q1 2026In Q1, the company secured over 100GWh of new orders for its 46-Series cylindrical EV batteries, with the order backlog exceeding 440GWh as of AprilIts North American ESS battery production network is now in place, with the aim to achieve more than 50GWh production capacity by year-end

SEOUL, South Korea, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Energy Solution (KRX: 373220) today announced its first-quarter earnings for 2026, reporting an increased quarterly revenue mainly driven by stable demand and solid orders for both 46-Series cylindrical EV batteries and ESS batteries.                                                              

The company posted consolidated revenue of KRW 6.6 trillion, a 1.2 percent increase quarter-on-quarter. The revenue includes the North America production incentive, which is estimated at KRW 189.8 billion. The operating deficit stood at KRW 207.8 billion.

In the first quarter, shipment of pouch-type EV batteries declined due to inventory adjustments by a major North American customer. However, stable shipments of cylindrical EV batteries and active response to growing North American ESS demand through capacity expansion resulted in a slight quarter-on-quarter increase in the revenue, with the ESS business now representing mid-20 percent of the total revenue.

At the same time, despite increase in shipments of both cylindrical EV and ESS batteries and ongoing cost-reduction efforts, the company posted a quarterly loss, driven by initial ramp-up costs associated with the expansion of ESS production sites and deterioration of product mix resulting from reduced sales of pouch-type EV batteries in North America.

Q1 Achievements                                               

In the first quarter, LG Energy Solution fully leveraged its local manufacturing capabilities in North America and the product competitiveness of its 46-Series cylindrical EV batteries to win over 100GWh of new orders for the product, bringing its total order backlog to over 440GWh (as of the end of April 2026). The company started producing 4695 cells at its Ochang facility late last year and will start producing diverse 46-Series cylindrical cells, ranging from 4680 to 46120 cells, at its Arizona facility late this year.

It also secured an additional ESS battery supply contract for grid-scale project in North America. Under the contract, the company will start supplying its next-generation product, which has reduced total cost by 15 percent compared to its current ESS LFP products, in 2028. Through such projects, the company is actively responding to growing customer demand for ESS batteries produced locally in the United States.

In addition, the company has successfully established its ESS battery production network in North America, comprising three standalone facilities (Holland, Lansing, Windsor) and two joint venture facilities (Ultium Cells facility in Tennessee and L-H Battery Company in Ohio). Leveraging this robust production network, the company will secure over 50GWh of ESS battery production capacity in the region by the end of this year.

Key Initiatives

As electricity consumption rises, driving the need for a more stable power grid amid the possibility of prolonged energy supply instability and high oil prices, the importance of ESS is emerging as a key component of power infrastructure that can offset the limitations of traditional power sources. This environment may also boost consumer demand for EVs, supported by their improving total cost of ownership relative to ICE vehicles, as well as advances in autonomous driving technologies.

Also, the U.S. and Europe continue to require local battery production to qualify for government incentives, which is increasing the customers’ preference for companies that can manufacture locally—enabling them to maximize policy benefits and respond swiftly to logistics risks.

In light of these circumstances, the company will focus on four areas going forward:

1. Strengthening cash flow management

Improve financial structure through EBITDA growth, divestment of non-core assets, and enhanced asset turnoverExecute Capex only for essential investments and best allocate strategic resources

2. Maximizing response to customer demand

ESS: actively secure new projects for power infrastructure and data centers, and promptly stabilize North American production facilitiesEV: proactively respond to EV demand recovery, leverage global production sites to respond to a solid demand for cylindrical EV batteries

3. Stabilizing the supply chain

Enhance monitoring for all raw materials and advance proactive sourcing strategiesMinimize logistics costs impacts by securing shipping capacity in advance, etc.

4. Reinforcing product competitiveness

Advance product specs: system integration (SI)-based software for ESS, fast charging for EVsSecure next-generation technologies: dry electrode processing, all-solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries

Globant Introduces MuleSoft AI Pod to Break through Integration Barriers and Scale Enterprise Agentic AI with Salesforce

Published

on

By

New delivery model helps reduce migration timelines from months to weeks combining specialized AI agents with human integration experts for secure, governed API-led connectivity at scale.MuleSoft AI Pod is accessible through Glob.AI, Globant’s AI-native technology service model for delivering enterprise AI at scale.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Globant, a global company focused on driving enterprise reinvention through AI, today introduced Salesforce’s MuleSoft AI Pod combining specialized AI agents with human experts to accelerate API-led connectivity and delivery. As AI initiatives become more complex, organizations need faster, more governed ways to connect the applications, data and workflows that power enterprise transformation.

Enterprises are under pressure to move agentic AI from experimentation to production, but disconnected systems and fragmented data remain a major barrier. MuleSoft AI Pod helps address that integration bottleneck by accelerating secure API-led connectivity, integration delivery and governed execution across initiatives of varying size and complexity. This AI Pod is accessible through Glob.AI, the new AI delivery model by Globant.

“As organizations look to scale Agentforce and other AI initiatives across the enterprise, integration and data readiness are becoming essential,” said Roland Berthelot, Global Head of Salesforce Studio at Globant. “MuleSoft helps establish the connectivity foundation that makes those initiatives possible. With MuleSoft AI Pod, Globant is helping customers scale integration delivery while maintaining the governance, security and expert oversight enterprise adoption requires.”

MuleSoft AI Pod is designed as flexible delivery teams that can be configured based on each customer’s integration roadmap, technical environment and delivery needs. Each pod brings together specialized AI agents for defined MuleSoft tasks with senior Globant experts who guide architecture, validate outputs and manage execution across API design, MuleSoft flow development, automated testing, governance and legacy modernization. Lean, Scaled and Advanced configurations are designed to support approximately six, up to 12 and up to 24 integration flows or APIs per month, respectively.

Benchmarks from current migration projects, internal pilots and delivery teams indicate the model can support measurable outcomes, including:

Up to 80% automation of manual integration tasks15–25% faster time-to-value and delivery cycles35% greater efficiency in solution design and development

Organizations running outdated integration platforms often face migration programs that require months of discovery, redesign and validation. This approach helps reduce migration timelines from months to weeks while preserving business logic and meeting enterprise governance standards. MuleSoft AI Pod provides a practical path to strengthen enterprise integration foundations, helping them modernize integration environments, improve delivery consistency and prepare their technology ecosystems for the next phase of AI-powered transformation. 

MuleSoft AI Pod will be accessible through Glob.AI, Globant’s AI-native platform designed to help organizations access and manage AI Pods through a unified environment. Currently available through a waitlist, Glob.AI brings together specialized AI agents and Globant experts  to instantly deploy enterprise-grade AI services with transparent, output or consumption linked pricing, not per hours or per seat.

The offering builds on Globant’s 21+ years as a Salesforce partner, with more than 1,200 projects delivered and a customer satisfaction score of 4.7 out of 5. Globant brings together more than 27,400 technologists, including 2,000+ multi-cloud experts across 58 global Delivery Centers, and has implemented more than 20 Einstein AI and Agentforce projects.

SuperX Continues Share Repurchases to Demonstrate Confidence in Long-Term Growth, Substantial APAC Orders Validate Growth Potential

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —  SuperX AI Technology Limited (NASDAQ: SUPX) (“SuperX” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed full-stack AI infrastructure solutions provider, today updated the market on its share repurchase program. The Company’s ongoing secondary market repurchases represent the strategic capital allocation decision made by the Board and management, driven by their firm conviction in the Company’s intrinsic value and long-term growth prospects. The Company’s recent landmark contract wins across the Asia-Pacific region and expanding global footprint validate its solid operational fundamentals and compelling growth prospects, providing a strong foundation for its long-term development.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the “2026 Repurchase Program”) as of August 6, 2026, under which the Company may repurchase up to US$20 million of its outstanding ordinary shares over the next twelve months. As of September 2, 2026, the Company has repurchased 5,630 ordinary shares under 2026 Repurchase Program at an average net repurchase price of US$7.9325 per ordinary share.

The Board and management believe the Company’s current market valuation does not fully capture its intrinsic value and long-term growth potential. Share repurchases serve as a key capital allocation tool to enhance shareholder value while preserving sufficient financial flexibility and sustaining strategic investments in core business expansion. The continued execution of repurchases demonstrates the Company’s confidence in its competitive strengths and long-term growth prospects.

SuperX has delivered robust commercial progress across the APAC region in 2026, with multiple landmark project wins validating its product competitiveness and global delivery capabilities. According to the announcements made by the Company in August 2026, the Company’s Global Supply Center in Japan has ramped up stable large-scale operations, securing four consecutive purchase orders from local key partner Digital Dynamic Inc. (DDI). Cumulative Pro6000 server shipments to DDI reached approximately US$38 million by late August 2026, with an additional US$20 million of new orders in backlog. The Company has also secured a US$38.8 million NVIDIA B300 server cluster order from Woodman Inc., scheduled for delivery in mid-November 2026, further strengthening its foothold in Japan’s high-end AI infrastructure market. In a major strategic expansion, SuperX has entered the Australian market by securing the inaugural batch of 128 NVIDIA B300 servers from local computing provider Ezisight, marking its official penetration into the Oceania AI infrastructure sector.

Backed by its sophisticated overseas supply chain, localized warehousing and scheduling systems, and integrated end-to-end delivery model, SuperX has successfully monetized next-generation NVIDIA B300 high-performance computing solutions, earning broad market recognition for its full-stack AI infrastructure offerings. The Company’s expanding order backlog and proven global project execution track record validate its resilient fundamentals and clear growth path, supporting disciplined long-term strategy execution and capital allocation activities.

The repurchases have been made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, and/or through other legally permissible means, in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases under the 2026 Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

Curve Dental Introduces Curve Memberships, Helping Practices Strengthen Patient Retention & Profitability Through Membership-Driven Care

Published

By

Integrated seamlessly with Curve, Curve Memberships helps practices identify enrollment opportunities, automate patient outreach and keep payments connected to billing and collections

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Curve Dental®, the leader in AI-powered, cloud-native, all-in-one dental practice management software, today announced Curve Memberships, designed to help practices identify patients who could benefit from an in-house dental membership plan, simplify enrollment and build more predictable recurring revenue.

Curve Memberships works seamlessly with the patient information dental teams already manage in Curve. Practices can engage uninsured patients and those interested in services outside their insurance coverage—such as whitening and other elective care not covered by their plan—while creating a simpler path to membership enrollment. Once patients enroll, membership payments automatically post to the patient account in Curve, keeping membership billing, collections and patient records connected to the system the practice already uses every day. The result is stronger patient loyalty and a more streamlined membership experience for the practice.

“Dental membership plans work—until they become one more thing the front desk has to remember, ” said Luke Anderson, Chief Product Officer at Curve Dental. “Curve Memberships connects with the software the team already uses all day, so identifying patients, driving enrollment and managing membership payments becomes part of the workflow—not more tasks to manage. That means practices can grow revenue without adding more work to the team’s day.”

Turning the Schedule Into an Enrollment Engine

More than 1 in 5 working-age U.S. adults have no dental benefits, according to the American Dental Association Health Policy Institute, underscoring the need for more flexible ways for patients to access and pay for dental care. In-house dental membership plans can help meet that need, but they often depend on staff recognizing an opportunity, explaining the program during a busy patient interaction and remembering to follow up afterward.

Curve Memberships streamlines that process by automatically delivering personalized invitations, helping practices grow enrollment without maintaining separate lists, spreadsheets or manual outreach campaigns.

For patients, these plans provide a straightforward, subscription-style way to understand the cost and value of their care. For practices, they can strengthen loyalty and create a more direct, predictable financial relationship with patients.

Memberships that Support a Healthier Practice

A healthy, growing practice doesn’t have to depend on insurance reimbursement alone. Membership plans can help create more predictable recurring revenue while reducing some of the administrative burden that comes with insurance-based care.

They can also support case acceptance by giving patients clearer, more approachable costs for services they may otherwise delay or decline—particularly care that falls outside insurance coverage.

Dental membership plans create a more direct relationship between the practice and patient, helping practices strengthen loyalty while giving patients a clearer path to care they value. Practices can also use the reports they already rely on in Curve to see production and collections trends across their membership patients and better understand the impact of their program.

“Membership-driven care gives practices more control over the economics of care while giving patients a clearer way to say yes to treatment,” said Anderson. “Curve Memberships helps make that easier to manage—from identifying opportunities and enrollment through payments and performance.”

Built for the Way Practices Work

Curve Memberships connects membership information with the patient record and everyday workflows dental teams already manage in Curve, giving teams greater visibility into member status and relevant care opportunities without adding another disconnected process.

Practices also receive dedicated support for setup and launch, along with a marketing toolkit designed to help introduce, promote and build participation in their membership program.

With Curve Memberships, practices can:

Identify patients who may benefit from a membership planAutomatically deliver personalized invitationsSee membership information within existing patient workflowsAuto-post payments to the patient account in CurveLaunch and promote plans with dedicated support and marketing resourcesReduce manual tracking, spreadsheets and disconnected processesMeasure contribution through Curve reporting

Expanding the Platform Practices Won’t Outgrow

Curve Memberships is the latest expansion of Curve’s end-to-end cloud platform and follows the company’s recently announced $200 million commitment to research and development. Curve continues to invest across AI, automation, payments and other tools designed to reduce complexity and help dental practices operate and grow more efficiently.

Curve Memberships will be rolled out to eligible Curve customers this month. Practices interested in learning more can visit curvedental.com/membership-plans.
