Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, may constitute ‘forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the expected trading commencement and closing dates. The words ‘anticipate,’ ‘believe,’ ‘continue,’ ‘could,’ ‘estimate,’ ‘expect,’ ‘intend,’ ‘may,’ ‘plan,’ ‘potential,’ ‘predict,’ ‘project,’ ‘should,’ ‘target,’ ‘will,’ ‘would’ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including: the uncertainties related to market conditions and other factors described more fully in the section entitled ‘Risk Factors’ in Sidus Space’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Measures

To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA. We use adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions regarding future direction of the company since it provides a meaningful comparison to our peers using similar measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (as determined by U.S. GAAP) adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, capital raise expense, severance costs, equity-based compensation and impairment loss. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures made by other companies since not all companies will use the same measures. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis.

The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net loss (the most comparable GAAP measure) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

TIER IV and Shunan Bulk Terminal collaborate to automate transportation using an autonomous dump truck, targeting driverless operations by the end of 2028

Published

59 minutes ago

on

November 12, 2026

By

TOKYO, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TIER IV, Inc., the pioneering force behind open-source software for autonomous driving, and Shunan Bulk Terminal Co., Ltd., a bulk cargo handling and transportation company operating at the Port of Tokuyama-Kudamatsu and a consolidated subsidiary of Tokuyama Corporation have launched a collaboration to automate transportation operations using an autonomous dump truck. With support from Tokuyama, the companies aim to achieve driverless operations at the port by the end of 2028.

Ports in Japan’s coastal industrial areas serve as vital logistics hubs, facilitating trade with countries across Asia and around the world while supporting the storage and transportation of raw materials and energy resources essential to the country’s manufacturing industries. At the same time, the logistics industry faces an urgent need to address driver shortages resulting from an aging and shrinking workforce and to establish more sustainable transportation systems. Against this backdrop, there is growing demand for greater efficiency through labor-saving measures and automation in transportation operations at ports and in surrounding coastal areas.

TIER IV is advancing the deployment of autonomous driving technology across a wide range of specialized vehicles, including construction and agricultural machinery, and factory transport vehicles, in addition to public transportation, leveraging Autoware, open-source software for autonomous driving. Shunan Bulk Terminal handles the unloading, storage and outbound transportation of energy resources, including coal and biomass fuels, at the Port of Tokuyama-Kudamatsu, an international bulk strategic port on the Seto Inland Sea in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Tokuyama, a chemical manufacturer, utilizes these energy resources to generate electricity and steam at its in-house power generation facilities, supporting the production of chemicals, advanced electronic materials, and other products.

Combining TIER IV’s expertise in developing, deploying and operating autonomous driving technology with Shunan Bulk Terminal’s experience in dump truck transportation, the companies will work to automate the currently crewed dump truck operations along the route from Shunan Bulk Terminal’s storage area to Tokuyama’s in-house power generation facilities, taking into account the on-site requirements associated with Tokuyama’s receipt of energy resources. They will develop the technologies and operational framework required for the specific site environment, advancing efforts toward driverless operations by the end of 2028.

The autonomous dump truck will run on Idemitsu Renewable Diesel, a next-generation biofuel supplied by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., one of Shunan Bulk Terminal’s shareholders. By using this fuel, the companies also aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation operations.

Building on the knowledge and experience gained through this collaboration in deploying and operating autonomous driving technology, the companies will explore opportunities to extend automation beyond the initial route to similar transportation operations in and around the Port of Tokuyama-Kudamatsu.

About Shunan Bulk Terminal

Shunan Bulk Terminal was established in August 2008 with investments from entities including Tokuyama, Idemitsu Kosan, Tokuyama Kairiku Unso and Shunan City, following the designation of the Port of Tokuyama-Kudamatsu as a designated industrial port area, beginning full-scale operations in April 2012. Operating primarily at the Port of Tokuyama-Kudamatsu as an intermediate storage and relay hub for imported coal and biomass fuels, the company handles the unloading, storage, and dispatch of bulk cargo. The company is also actively working to reduce CO2 emissions through initiatives such as installing an on-site solar power plant to supply a portion of its electricity with renewable energy.

About Tokuyama

Established in 1918 in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, to manufacture domestically the soda ash that has previously been imported, Tokuyama operates in diverse sectors. Alongside traditional basic chemicals such as soda ash and caustic soda, its main business fields currently include advanced electronic materials (such as polycrystalline silicon for semiconductors and high-purity isopropyl alcohol for the electronics industry) and life sciences (such as photochromic lens materials and dental materials).

About TIER IV

TIER IV stands at the forefront of deep-tech innovation, pioneering Autoware, open-source software for autonomous driving. With a comprehensive suite of platforms and services built around Autoware, TIER IV provides everything from software development and vehicle procurement to operational support. Through the Autoware ecosystem, TIER IV works with partners worldwide to shape the future of intelligent vehicles with open-source software, aiming to create mobility that is safer, more sustainable, and accessible to all.

These capabilities are designed to support execution efficiency, operational continuity and the evolving technology requirements of institutional clients operating across global markets.

Through ongoing technology development, FinPrime aims to strengthen the integration of its liquidity, risk management, technology and infrastructure offerings, enabling institutional partners to adapt to changing market conditions and business requirements.

A Refreshed Digital Experience

For a technician inspecting a recessed connector deep inside an engine bay, both hands are fully occupied—one holding wiring aside while the other maneuvers a tool. Bulky work lights cannot squeeze into confined spaces, conventional magnetic torches only point rigidly where brackets face, single-beam lights rarely cover varied tasks, and ordinary lights struggle under daily shop abuse. At SEMA, Olight demonstrated how the Oclip 2 Series eliminates these bottlenecks through three core capabilities built for automotive realities.

Hands-Free Lighting That Stays Where You Aim It

The dual-axis design tilts the head up to 115° and rotates the clip a full 360°, supported by self-locking pivots and dual magnetic points. Technicians can secure the light by clipping, magnetic attachment, or hanging onto irregular strut towers, control arms, chassis rails, panel edges, or toolboxes, then aim the beam into recessed crevices without shifting the mounting point. At SEMA, mechanics and trade media praised how the dual-axis design and dual magnets maximize flexibility and stability, acting as an indispensable “third hand” that frees both hands for work.

Multiple Light Sources for Versatile Automotive Work

Different jobs demand different light. The Oclip 2 Ultra delivers dedicated UV output through an industry-first R/UV emitter, enabling diagnostic specialists to trace fluorescent dyes in leaking A/C lines, coolant hoses, and oil seals at the vehicle without retrieving a standalone detector. Both models also share an even pure flood for close-up engine bay work, a focused spotlight for deep chassis and exhaust inspections, and red light for under-dash electrical checks and night roadside assistance, delivering the right beam without changing tools.

Built Tough for Relentless Workshop Environments

Under vibration from impact tools and engines, lighting must endure heavy abuse. The dual-axis mechanism is validated through 10,000 clipping and 10,000 rotation cycles to ensure consistent tension through a full shift. Both models feature aluminum construction, IP66 resistance, and a two-meter drop rating to survive concrete floors and fluid splashes. The Ultra further upgrades to scratch-resistant OAL aluminum that better withstands severe impacts and corrosive brake cleaners. Compact size ensures the light still fits the tightest spaces while supporting extended multi-bay work without interrupting workflow.

At SEMA, the Oclip 2 Series illustrated Olight’s focused approach to the automotive trades: hands-free aiming, versatile light sources, and rugged reliability for daily shop demands, elevating the professional standard for automotive lighting.
