Earnings Reviewed

For the quarter ended on May 31, 2016 the Beaverton, Oregon-based company posted diluted earnings of $0.49 per share on $8.24 billion in revenue. Earnings per share were flat from the year ago period, while revenue climbed 6% from$7.78 billion in Q4 FY15. Analysts expected Nike to report earnings of $0.48 per share on revenue of $8.28 billion.

Nike’s revenue of $3.74 billion from North America was flat from the year ago period. Revenue grew 19% and 18% on a y-o-y basis in Western Europe and Greater China, respectively. Japan’s revenue climbed 22% on y-o-y basis, while emerging markets sales declined 7%. Excess inventory issues in North America weighed on Nike’s Q4 FY16 gross margin, which dipped 30 basis points to 45.9%; this was also impacted by higher product costs and unfavourable exchange rates.

At the end of Q4 FY16, global futures orders for Nike products scheduled for delivery from June to November 2016 totalled $14.9 billion, an 8% increase on y-o-y basis and 11% higher on a currency neutral basis. This is a closely watched metric as it provides an indication of demand for Nike’s products in coming months. Orders in Japan are up 24% on y-o-y basis while it is up 18% in greater China. Meanwhile, orders from North America were up just 6% on y-o-y, the first time it has dipped into single digits since Q3 FY14 amid increased competition with sportswear titans such as Adidas and Under Armour Inc. (NYSE: UA).

Challenging Environment

After years of scorching growth, Nike is facing a number of challenges. Revenue in overseas market has been impacted by strong U.S. dollar, while competition in footwear market is heating up. Under Armour has been able to make progress in Nike’s long time stranglehold of the basketball shoes, while Adidas is increasing its market share in the sneaker segment. Nike basketball sales, other than Jordan Brand, declined 1% in Fiscal 2016 while Nike’s U.S. footwear overall rose just 2% in Q4 FY16, compared to a 16% rise in Q3 FY16. Nike has also been hampered by bankruptcy of Sports Authority and Eastern Mountain Sports stores in 2016 on which Nike relies heavily to sell its products.

Outlook

On the earnings conference call, Nike’s management said full-year expectations are “largely unchanged” from a growth and profitability perspective, in spite of the recent volatility spurred by the Brexit.

Share Buyback

During Q4 FY16, Nike repurchased a total of 9.0 million shares for approximately $540 million as part of its four-year, $12 billion program authorized by the board of directors in November, 2016.

Stock Market Performance

On Tuesday, June 28, 2016, Nike’s stock was up 2.31%, closing at $53.09 for the day. The stock recorded trading volume of 19.59 million, which was higher than its 3-month average volume of 9.92 million. Nike’s stock has declined 14.59% on YTD basis. In 2015, the company has topped gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average with the stock advancing 30%.

New Video: Spray-On Stem Cells Rapidly Heal Wounded State Trooper Using RenovaCare SkinGun

NEW YORK, NY and PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2016 / RenovaCare, Inc., (OTCQB: RCAR), a developer of novel medical grade liquid spray devices and patented CellMist™ and SkinGun™ technologies*, released behind-the-scenes video footage of its medical device for spraying a patient’s own stem cells onto burns and wounds for rapid self-healing. The footage includes compelling first-hand testimony and before-and-after images of a State Trooper’s rapid, scar-free recovery from severe burns to over one-third of his body. Click here to watch the video.

This comes just weeks after the company successfully completed the engineering, studies, and associated efforts required for submission of foundational 510(k) filing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for spraying saline for wound irrigation. A successful 510(k) submission is an important benchmark in medical device development and will enable the marketing of the device, and helps meet the threshold for undertaking clinical research to support additional indications and uses of the device.

Prominently featured in the short presentation is RenovaCare, Inc. President and CEO, Thomas Bold, who explains the science behind the SkinGun™ and what the future holds for thousands of burn victims, wound and skin disease patients who would benefit from this type of medical treatment. The estimated addressable SkinGun™ market is $45 billion.

“Now that we’ve processed the necessary work for our 510(k) filing, we are excited to provide the public a sneak peek inside the world of RenovaCare, Inc. and share our stem cell therapy technology for the regeneration of the body’s largest organ, the skin,” said Bold.

*RenovaCare products are currently in development. They are not available for sale in the United States. There is no assurance that the company’s planned or filed submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, if any, will be accepted or cleared by the FDA.

About RenovaCare

RenovaCare, Inc. is developing first-of-their-kind autologous (self-donated) stem cell therapies for the regeneration of human organs, and novel medical grade liquid sprayer devices.

In addition to its liquid spray devices for wound irrigation, the company’s pipeline products under development target the body’s largest organ, the skin. The RenovaCare CellMist™ System will use the patented SkinGun™ to spray a liquid suspension of a patient’s stem cells – the CellMist™ Solution – onto wounds. RenovaCare is developing its CellMist™ System as a promising new alternative for patients suffering from burns, chronic and acute wounds, and scars. In the U.S. alone, this $45 billion market is greater than the spending on high-blood pressure management, cholesterol treatments, and back pain therapeutics.

Post Earnings Coverage as Carnival Almost Triples Profit

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2016 / Active Wall ST announces its post-earnings coverage on Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL). On Tuesday, June 28, 2016, the company announced its Q2 fiscal 2016 financial results. The cruise-ship company’s earnings beat market expectations as it nearly tripled on the back of lower fuel costs. Furthermore, the company announced a $1 billion share repurchase program.

Today, AWS is promoting its earnings coverage on CCL. Get all of our free coverage by signing up to http://www.activewallst.com/registration-3/?symbol=CCL.

Earnings Reviewed

For the quarter ended on May 31, 2016, Carnival reported earnings of $605 million, or $0.80 per share, up from $222 million, or $0.29 per share, in the year ago period. Earnings, adjusted for non-recurring gains, rose to $0.49 in Q2 FY16 from $0.25 per share in Q2 FY15, surpassing analysts’ consensus estimate of $0.39 per share. Revenue for Q2 FY16 was $3.71 billion as compared to revenue of $3.59 billion in Q2 FY16, and came in above market estimates of $3.68 billion.

The company which operates around 100 ships around the globe has reaped the benefits from the collapse of fuel prices from above $100 per barrel to below $30 per barrel in the past two years. The company noted that changes in fuel prices and currency exchange rates contributed $0.04 per share to Q2 FY16 earnings. Excluding currency effects, net revenue yields (net revenue per available lower birth day) rose 3.6%, above the prior estimate for an increase of 1.5% to 2.5%. Excluding fuel expenses, net cruise costs declined 1.9% compared with forecast for an increase of between 0.5% and 1.5%.

Booking Advance but concerns from Brexit

Carnival said that advance reservations for the remainder of the calendar year 2016 were well ahead of the prior year at slightly higher prices, yet with lower volumes as there are fewer inventories available for sales as compared to last year. Advance customers booking should help to lower the impact of the current market volatility due to Britain’s decision to exit the European Union on June 24, 2016. The British pound, which represents 30% of Carnival’s currency exposure, reached a 31-year low after the referendum and can negatively impact earnings if it stays depressed.

Carnival eyes Chinese market

Carnival has also stated its desire to increase capacity in the lucrative Chinese market. The company plans to reduce European capacity by about 5% in favour of growing more in the burgeoning Chinese market. The leisure travel and cruise operator plans to increase capacity by more than 30% in 2017 compared to a 60% increase this year. China accounts for about 5% of the Carnival’s global capacity, and the company expects to increase this capacity to 6% by 2017.

Share Repurchase and Dividend

Carnival has authorized the buyback of $1 Billion worth of stock. Since October 2016, the company has already repurchased $1.9 Billion worth of shares, signalling their confidence moving forward.

The company also paid a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share, which was paid on June 17, 2016 to shareholders of record on May 27, 2016. This represents a $1.40 annualized dividend and a yield of 3.21%. The quarterly dividend was higher than previous quarterly dividend of $0.30.

Guidance

For Q3 FY16, Carnival expects net revenue yields to be between 2% to 3%, and adjusted earnings to be in the range of $1.83 to $1.87, from the prior guidance of $1.83 to $1.87 per share. For the fiscal year ending in November, 2016, the company expects adjusted earnings to be in the range of $3.25 to $3.35 on a 3.5% increase in net revenue yields from the prior guidance of $3.20 to $3.40 per share.

Stock Performance

Carnival’s share gained 0.21% closing at $43.73. The stock hit an intraday high of $46.16, post its earnings release. Volume for the day was 14.38 million shares, which was higher than the stock’s 3-month average volume of 4.48 million. Shares of Carnival have declined 10.84% in the past one week, since the British referendum.

CorMedix Secures First Research Collaboration in the Medical Device Space with Luna Innovations Inc.

BEDMINSTER, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2016 / CorMedix Inc. (NYSE MKT: CRMD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of infectious and inflammatory disease, announced today that it has entered into a material transfer agreement with Luna Innovations Inc. (NASDAQ: LUNA), a company with broad expertise in materials technology and applied R&D in the health sciences, to test the feasibility of incorporating taurolidine into electrospun nanofibers. Luna will leverage its existing government-funded research and biomaterials expertise to create nanofibers loaded with CRMD-006, CorMedix’s proprietary formulation of taurolidine, to create unique scaffolds with anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that can be used primarily for wound closure and burn care. Under the agreement, Luna and CorMedix will also explore opportunities to commercialize any product, invention, or derivative developed under the collaboration.

Chronic non-healing wounds and burns expose patients to risk of infections that can complicate healing and have the potential to progress into life-threatening conditions. Electrospun fiber meshes use synthetic and natural polymers to improve patient outcomes relative to conventional dressings. Unfortunately, few dressings have been developed that allow delivery of analgesics or therapeutics while effectively preventing infections. By combining CRMD-006 with Luna’s electrospinning technology, if feasible, the companies may advance a novel anti-microbial medical device for use wound care that can simultaneously provide wound management, pain relief, and anti-microbial activity.

Randy Milby, chief executive officer of CorMedix, stated, “As we’ve discussed, identifying partnership opportunities and expanding the potential of our taurolidine platform is a key component of our growth strategy. This agreement with Luna marks our first such collaboration in the medical device space and we are optimistic about the possibility of creating nanofiber meshes with taurolidine’s proven anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.”

My E. Chung, president and chief executive officer of Luna Innovations, added, “We are excited to have this opportunity to leverage our expertise and be a part of this significant development. Partnering with CorMedix to explore this challenge is yet another example of the unique capabilities of our Technology Development Division.”

About Luna

Luna Innovations Incorporated (www.lunainc.com) is organized into two business segments, which work closely together to turn ideas into products: a Technology Development segment and a Products and Licensing segment. Luna’s business model is designed to accelerate the process of bringing new and innovative technologies to market.

About CorMedix Inc.

CorMedix Inc. is an emerging commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company that initiated a Phase 3 clinical study of a novel anti-infective solution Neutrolin in hemodialysis patients in the United States in December 2015. The Company seeks to in-license, develop and commercialize therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases. CorMedix’s first commercial product in Europe is Neutrolin®, a catheter lock solution for the prevention of catheter related bloodstream infections and maintenance of catheter patency in tunneled, cuffed, central venous catheters used for vascular access in hemodialysis patients, in addition to oncology patients, critical care patients, and patients receiving total parenteral nutrition, IV hydration, and/or IV medications. The FDA has granted Fast Track status to Neutrolin Catheter Lock Solution and also has designated Neutrolin as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product for oncology, hemodialysis, and critical care/intensive care patients, where catheter-related blood stream infections and clotting can be life-threatening. The initial and planned indications aim to address significant needs in catheter-based treatments in the U.S. and the rest of the world. For more information visit: www.cormedix.com.

Peak Announces Creation of Chinese Operating Subsidiary

MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2016 / Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTC Pink: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”) today announced that its Chinese subsidiary, Asia Synergy Technologies Ltd. (“AST”), has been registered as an operating entity legally authorized to conduct business in China. AST was registered in Shanghai and has established its head office in the City of Wuxi in the province of Jiangsu.

The announcement marks a major milestone for the Company and clears the path to allow AST to begin to take over some of the plastic raw materials distribution activities of the Zhonghai Wanyue Group’s (“ZHWY Group”) subsidiaries as per the strategic partnership agreement between Peak and ZHWY Group Chairman, Mr. Jiang Wang.

Although the vast majority of AST’s operations are expected to be facilitated by the Gold River Fintech web-based platform, the company is also expected to engage in some offline transactions while Gold River hits its stride. “We started discussions with a handful of clients and suppliers while the company registration process was running its course,” commented AST CEO, Mr. Liang Qiu. “Until we get them using the online platform, we’ll start with some offline transactions, very similar to the transactions they are currently doing with ZHWY Group subsidiaries, so nothing will change for them in the short run.”

“We’ll eventually have the transactions go through Gold River, but for now, starting with offline transactions will ensure a smooth transition to Gold River and allow AST to generate revenues more quickly,” Mr. Qiu went on to say.

More Exercise of Warrants and Conversion of Debentures

Peak also announced that the Company issued 12,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share and 7,500,000 common shares at a price of $0.025 as a result of the exercise of common share purchase warrants. The Company also issued 536,220 additional common shares at a price of $0.05 per share as a result of the exercise of the conversion feature of secured convertible debentures.

The announced transactions combine to add $188,100 to the Company’s cash flow and remove $26,811’s worth of short-term debt from its books.
