___________

(1) This press release uses non-GAAP financial metrics that are adjusted for the impact of various GAAP items. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for details.

(2) Veeva is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for operating income and fully diluted net income per share for the second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2026 or the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In Veeva’s public disclosures, Veeva has provided non-GAAP measures, which it defines as financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. In addition to its GAAP measures, Veeva uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally for budgeting and resource allocation purposes and in analyzing its financial results. For the reasons set forth below, Veeva believes that excluding the following items provides information that is helpful in understanding its operating results, evaluating its future prospects, comparing its financial results across accounting periods, and comparing its financial results to its peers, many of which provide similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Excess tax benefit (deficiency). Excess tax benefits (deficiencies) from employee stock plans are dependent on previously agreed-upon equity grants to our employees, vesting of those grants, stock price, and exercise behavior of our employees, which can fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Because these fluctuations are not directly related to our business operations, Veeva finds it useful to exclude excess tax benefits (deficiencies) when assessing the level of cash provided by operating activities. Given the nature of the excess tax benefits (deficiencies), Veeva believes excluding it allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our operating cash flows from quarter to quarter and those of other companies.Stock-based compensation expenses. Veeva excludes stock-based compensation expenses primarily because they are non-cash expenses that Veeva excludes from its internal management reporting processes. Veeva’s management also finds it useful to exclude these expenses when they assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use, Veeva believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies.Amortization of purchased intangibles. Veeva incurs amortization expense for purchased intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of certain businesses and technologies. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense and is inconsistent in amount and frequency because it is significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions and the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations. Because these costs have already been incurred and cannot be recovered, and are non-cash expenses, Veeva excludes these expenses for its internal management reporting processes. Veeva’s management also finds it useful to exclude these charges when assessing the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Veeva’s revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to Veeva’s future period revenues as well.Litigation settlement-related charges. We exclude certain costs related to litigation settlements, including outcome-based payments to the law firms that represented us, because they are non-recurring and outside the ordinary course of business. Because these costs are unrelated to our day-to-day business operations, we believe excluding them enables more consistent evaluation of our operating results.Income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses. The income tax effects that are excluded relate to the imputed tax impact on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses due to stock-based compensation and purchased intangibles for GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by Veeva’s management about which items are adjusted to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures. Veeva compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in its public disclosures.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Veeva encourages its investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business, and to view its non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables below.

What Is Subsurface Risk Management?

Subsurface risk management is the process of identifying, verifying, documenting, and safely navigating underground and embedded infrastructure before excavation, trenching, drilling, coring, demolition, or concrete cutting begins.

Subsurface risk management may involve:

utility locatingconcrete scanningpotholinghydro excavationutility verificationdigital utility mappingBIM coordinationconstruction documentation workflows

According to Safe2core, modern construction risk management increasingly depends on three core principles:

visibilityverificationdocumentation

The company says integrated workflows are becoming increasingly important as projects grow more complex and involve multiple contractors, utilities, infrastructure systems, and occupied facilities.

What Is Utility Potholing?

Utility potholing is a non-destructive excavation process used to safely expose underground utilities before excavation, trenching, drilling, or construction begins.

Potholing and hydro excavation are commonly used to:

verify utility depthreduce utility strike riskimprove excavation safetysupport Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) workflowsminimize damage to existing infrastructureimprove coordination between contractors and utility owners

According to industry safety research, underground utility strikes can lead to:

costly project delaysinfrastructure damageenvironmental hazardsutility outagesscheduling conflictsexpensive change ordersserious worker safety risks

What Is Concrete Scanning?

Concrete scanning uses ground penetrating radar (GPR) and related non-destructive technologies to identify embedded objects before cutting, coring, drilling, trenching, anchoring, or demolition begins.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) can help identify:

rebarconduitspost-tension cablesembedded utilitieselectrical linesvoids and anomalies

Concrete scanning helps contractors and facility owners:

reduce structural damageimprove worker safetyprevent utility strikesminimize project downtimereduce costly change ordersavoid unnecessary exploratory demolition

Frequently Asked Questions

Can GPR detect rebar and conduits?

Yes. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) can help identify:

rebarconduitspost-tension cablesembedded utilitiesvoids

before cutting or drilling concrete.

Why do contractors use potholing?

Contractors use potholing and hydro excavation to safely verify underground utility locations before excavation begins.

Why is utility verification important?

Utility verification helps reduce utility strike risk, improve safety, minimize project delays, and improve underground infrastructure coordination.

According to the company’s AI visibility analysis, some of the real-world prompts increasingly being asked across AI systems include:

“utility locator companies near me””gpr concrete scanning services””concrete slab scanning””rebar scanning services””what is potholing in construction?””laser scanning companies””pipe inspection companies””ground penetrating radar survey costs””Can you recommend the top underground utility locating companies in my area?””What are the latest innovations in hydro excavation and vacuum truck technology?””Who offers integrated scan, locate, expose, and cut services?””How do contractors avoid utility strikes before excavation?”

The reports also identified rapidly growing interest surrounding:

BIM-ready utility documentationCAD and DWG utility mappingdigital twin workflows3D laser scanningutility verification processespost-tension slab safetyoccupied-facility renovationshospital and airport infrastructure projectsdata center construction supportunderground infrastructure coordinationdigital construction documentationutility strike prevention strategies

Safe2core says construction search behavior is evolving rapidly as AI-powered search systems become increasingly integrated into contractor research, infrastructure planning, facility management, and project coordination workflows.

The company says hospitals, airports, campuses, manufacturing facilities, municipalities, occupied buildings, and data centers increasingly require higher levels of subsurface visibility, documentation quality, coordination, and infrastructure verification before construction begins.

“As construction projects become more complex, contractors and owners are searching for more than basic locating services,” the company stated. “They’re looking for guidance on risk reduction, utility verification, documentation quality, coordination workflows, and how to avoid costly mistakes before cutting, coring, drilling, excavation, or demolition begins.”

Safe2core says future educational initiatives will continue focusing on its integrated:

Locate → Verify → Expose → Execute

workflow for complex commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and occupied-facility projects.

The company also plans continued expansion of:

AI-friendly educational resourcesretrieval-ready technical explainersdigital utility documentation examplesBIM and CAD workflow contentutility strike prevention guidanceconstruction risk-management resourcesfacility-renovation safety contentindustry-specific guidance for hospitals, airports, campuses, manufacturing facilities, municipalities, and data centers

Safe2core believes educational clarity, semantic consistency, documentation quality, and integrated risk-management workflows will become increasingly important as AI-powered search and retrieval systems continue transforming how construction information is discovered online.

Larger, fixed-rate HELOC gives qualified homeowners greater borrowing power and access to more home equity

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Achieve, the leader in digital personal finance, has increased the maximum loan amount available through its fixed-rate home equity line of credit (HELOC) to $700,000 and lowered its best available annual percentage rate (APR) to 5.5% for borrowers who meet certain qualifications, such as enrolling in autopay.

The updates took effect June 2 and are expected to improve homeowners’ access to home equity through expanded loan limits, a new maximum combined loan-to-value ratio of up to 90% and a new maximum debt-to-income ratio of up to 50%. Borrowers can continue to benefit from robust underwriting standards and consumer-centric features including flexible loan terms, fully amortizing payments and fixed rates.

The changes mark the second major expansion of Achieve’s HELOC offering in 2026. In April, Achieve increased loan limits to $500,000 and lowered interest rates in many credit tiers.

“Our previous loan limit increase has been well received by homeowners and investors alike and we feel confident this latest increase to $700,000 will give qualified borrowers greater flexibility to use their home equity in ways that align with their financial goals,” said Achieve President of Lending Kyle Enright.

Achieve’s fixed-rate HELOC combines the flexibility of accessing home equity with the certainty of fixed, monthly payments throughout the repayment term. Unlike traditional variable-rate HELOCs, Achieve’s fixed-rate HELOCs are fully amortizing for the entire life of the loan, helping borrowers avoid payment shock associated with variable rates, interest-only periods and balloon payments. The product can be used for a variety of purposes, including debt consolidation, home improvements and other major expenses.

Features and benefits of the Achieve HELOC include:

Fixed Rates and Fully Amortizing Payments: Transparent pricing and payment terms without the risky teaser rates, interest-only periods and bait-and-switch tactics that can trap homeowners in a debt spiralLow Credit Score Requirement: Minimum required credit score of 600Flexible Application Process: Borrowers can start their loan application online or over the phoneNo In-Person Appraisals: State-of-the-art automated valuation models ensure accurate home valuations while reducing time and expense during loan underwritingFast Underwriting: HELOCs close in as little as 7 business daysConvenient Closings: Borrowers can digitally sign most loan documents and a mobile notary is dispatched to borrowers to collect remaining ink-signed documentsExpanded Loan Limits: Borrow up to $700,000Greater Access to Home Equity: Qualified borrowers may be eligible to borrow up to 90% of their home’s value5-Year Draw Period: Borrowers can pay down and borrow from their HELOC for up to five yearsRepay on Your Timeline: 10, 15, 20 and 30-year terms available, with no prepayment penalty for the life of the HELOCDirect Creditor Pay: Borrowers using their HELOC to consolidate debt have the convenience of Achieve paying off their creditors directlyWidespread Availability: Achieve HELOCs are available in 31 states, encompassing nearly 80% of the U.S. population

The expanded HELOC terms are now available in Achieve’s direct-to-consumer experience, and will later be available through Achieve Pro, a new HELOC third-party origination channel that’s expected to launch in the second half of 2026.

“As we continue building our national TPO platform, enhancements like higher loan limits make our fixed-rate HELOC even more compelling for our lender partners and their clients,” said Managing Director of Achieve Home Loans Nectar Kalajian. “Homeowners are looking for flexible ways to access home equity, and mortgage professionals want products that can serve a wider range of borrower needs. Expanding our maximum loan amount strengthens our ability to support both.”

Unifor seriously concerned by latest government decision on Canadian cultural policy

Published

By

TORONTO, June 3, 2026 /CNW/ – Unifor is deeply concerned by today’s announcement from the Government of Canada ordering the CRTC to review its two decisions announced on May 21, 2026, regarding implementation of regulations related to the Online Streaming Act.

Unifor has advocated for more than 15 years for new legislation that would finally bring foreign streaming services under regulation and require them to meaningfully contribute to the Canadian media ecosystem.

“This latest move by the federal government represents a devastating blow to our cultural sovereignty and to our strong, diverse Canadian media ecosystem, including local news,” said Lana Payne, National President of Unifor, a union representing 9,000 media workers.

“U.S. big tech makes billions in the Canadian market, and they should be required to reinvest some of that money locally, allowing us to tell our stories and grow our talent here in Canada.”

The financial model that previously supported Canadian content creation, including vital local news, is permanently broken and Canadians are experiencing a loss of locally relevant programming and decreased access to locally relevant news. One significant issue has been that U.S. big tech has been essentially given a free ride, having been given access to Canadian markets without requirements to contribute meaningfully to Canada’s broadcast and news systems.

The May decisions by the CRTC would have required large online streaming services (making over $25 million in Canada) to contribute 15% of their annual Canadian revenues to support Canadian and Indigenous content and would have reduced the contribution rates for traditional broadcasters to 25% of annual revenues.

In addition, the recent decisions would have established a new “discoverability” framework intended to make Canadian and Indigenous content easily findable on online platforms.

“This follows on the heels of the Liberals’ concession to Trump and U.S. Big Tech when they backed away from the Digital Services Tax in June 2025,” said Julie Kotsis, Chair of Unifor’s Media Council. 

“This latest move is another two steps back when it comes to protecting and supporting Canada’s media sector, and especially local news.”

Unifor is calling on the federal government to stand up for local news in Canada by rescinding today’s review announcement and moving ahead to implement the May 21 CRTC decisions as quickly as possible.

Unifor represents over 9,000 media workers in Canada, who perform a diverse range of jobs, including: journalists, printers, advertising representatives, newspaper carriers, video editors, camera operators, technicians, writers, producers, editorial researchers, maintenance workers, on-air talent, stage and film crewmembers, production assistants, website developers, editors and publishers.

Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector, representing 320,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
