The U.S. remains the UN’s largest supplier, receiving as much in contracts as it pays in UN dues 

WASHINGTON, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The United States remained the largest supplier to United Nations organizations in 2025, with American companies receiving $2.03 billion in procurement contracts, according to newly released data from the UN Global Marketplace.   

“These numbers prove that the U.S. can do good and do well at the same time. UN contracts support American jobs and strengthen local economies while contributing to the UN’s lifesaving work,” said Peter Yeo, President of the Better World Campaign.  

U.S. companies won more than 85 percent of all UN contracts valued at more than $1 million. Thirty-two UN organizations contracted with U.S. companies, including UNICEF and the UN Development Program.     

The U.S. retained its position as the UN’s largest supplier of pharmaceuticals, providing $921.2 million in products that support global health programs. American companies also remained leading providers of management and administrative services ($254.9 million), engineering and research services ($225.5 million), transportation and logistics services ($99.7 million), and information technology and communications equipment ($95.4 million).

“As policymakers consider America’s relationship with the United Nations, these numbers are worth remembering,” Yeo said. “The UN is not only advancing U.S. interests around the world—it is also creating business opportunities for American companies and workers in communities across the country.”

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, the world leader in 0‑fee digital asset trading, today announced the appointment of Robert MacDonald as Chief Compliance Officer. Robert brings over two decades of experience leading regulatory transformation at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets, and will oversee MEXC’s global compliance strategy, governance framework, and regulatory engagement.

Robert joins MEXC from Bybit, where he served as Chief Legal & Compliance Officer. In this dual capacity, he directed the exchange’s global licensing strategy and corporate legal operations and oversaw the implementation of international AML and KYC frameworks. Robert’s previous leadership roles include senior positions at Standard Chartered and Binance where he focused on regulatory strategy, compliance transformation, and governance.

In 2025, Robert was recognized among Asian Legal Business’ Top 15 Chief Compliance Officers, highlighting his work in navigating regulatory complexity within the digital asset sector.

In recent months, MEXC has expanded beyond its traditional crypto offering to provide retail users with access to a wider range of market opportunities, including digital assets, equities-related products, IPO access, and other asset classes across global financial markets.

Robert’s strategic mandate at MEXC centers on three core pillars:

Cross-Jurisdictional Governance: Establishing scalable compliance frameworks that enforce international standards while dynamically adapting to localized regulatory requirements.Data-Driven Risk Management: Deploying advanced analytics and automated infrastructure to mitigate platform risk and secure responsible market access at scale.Strategic Regulatory Engagement: Collaborating directly with global regulators and industry stakeholders to drive accountability, establish clear compliance standards, and ensure long-term operational alignment.

“Over the past decade, the crypto industry has grown at incredible speed, driven by innovation and global demand,” said Robert MacDonald. “As the industry matures, trust won’t be a competitive advantage, but the price of entry, and compliance takes on a bigger role. It is the gateway to trust and sustainable growth at scale. In the world’s most complex and volatile markets, the platforms that endure are not the fastest movers, but those resilient enough to protect their users. That philosophy will anchor MEXC’s compliance agenda going forward.”

“MEXC’s mission is to make more opportunities accessible to users around the world, but expanding access also comes with a responsibility to earn and maintain their trust,” said Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC. “As the digital asset industry matures, innovation and compliance can no longer be treated as separate priorities. Robert’s deep experience across traditional finance, fintech, and digital assets will help us strengthen the regulatory and governance foundation needed to scale responsibly.”

As MEXC broadens its product offering beyond traditional crypto markets, the exchange is investing in the governance and compliance infrastructure needed to support its growth, scale operations across multiple jurisdictions, and develop new market offerings.

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP performance and liquidity measures as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted financial measures in addition to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and in its decision-making processes related to the operations of our company. We believe these measures provide meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance the understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash, and the trends of our business. Additionally, we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

The following provides additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures:

Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) – represents net sales growth (decline) (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth (Decline) is a useful measure of our performance because it excludes items that are not completely under management’s control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
 Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin – represent operating income and operating margin, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization expense on intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, and other income or charges, if any. We utilize these adjusted measures in combination with operating income and operating margin to assess segment level operating performance and to provide insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and market conditions. Adjusted Operating Income is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
 Adjusted Income Tax (Expense) Benefit and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate – represent income tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) after adjusting for the tax effect of special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization expense on intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any.
 Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations – represents income from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization expense on intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects.
 Adjusted Earnings Per Share – represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization expense on intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
 Free Cash Flow (FCF) – is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. The difference between net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) and Free Cash Flow consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to identify. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated from our operations. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP financial measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. Certain special items, including cash paid (collected) pursuant to collateral requirements related to cross-currency swap contracts, are also excluded by management in evaluating Free Cash Flow. Net capital expenditures consist of capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. These items are subtracted because they represent long-term commitments. In the calculation of Free Cash Flow, we subtract certain cash items that are ultimately within management’s and the Board of Directors’ discretion to direct and may imply that there is less or more cash available for our programs than the most comparable GAAP financial measure indicates. It should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for future discretionary expenditures, as our definition of Free Cash Flow does not consider certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may have other discretionary expenditures, such as discretionary dividends, share repurchases, and business acquisitions, that are not considered in the calculation of Free Cash Flow.
