OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Calian Group Ltd. (TSX:CGY), deliverer of trusted solutions across advanced technologies, health, learning & information technology segments, today released its annual results for the year ended September 30, 2020.

Calian Group Ltd. (the "Company") reported revenues for the quarter of $123 million, representing a 35% increase from the $90.9 million reported in the same quarter of the previous year. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported revenues of $432 million, a 26% increase from the $343 million in the prior year.

Fourth quarter and full year 2020 highlights:

Record quarterly revenue for the ninth consecutive quarter
Quarterly revenue of $123 million, an increase of 35% from the same quarter of the previous year
Annual revenue of $432 million, an increase of 26% from the previous year
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of 9.2 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of 13% from the previous year
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $36.8 for the fiscal year 2020, an increase of 36%
76th consecutive profitable quarter
New contract signings of $111 million in fourth quarter
Dividend of $0.28 per share

"I am pleased to report Calian's record year on multiple fronts. Revenue for the year was an all-time high for the Company at $432M. Organic growth was strong at 21% in the twelve-month period, led by our Health and Advanced Technologies segments. Our profitable growth objective was also evident as we grew EBITDA by 36% thanks to increased volume and scaling our business efficiently," said Kevin Ford, President and CEO. "We completed four acquisitions in 2020, three of them in new market verticals in which Calian did not previously participate. M&A has played an important role in all four of our segments by bringing in new customers and new technologies aligned to our growth strategy."

Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the fourth quarter was $9.2 million, an increase of 14% from $8.1 million in the same quarter of the previous year. For the year ended September 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $36.8 million, a 36% increase compared to the $27.1 million in the same period of the previous year.

Adjusted net profit,(1) which excludes non-cash items related to recent acquisitions, was $5.6 million for the quarter; this compares to $5.7 million in the same period of the previous year. For the year ended September 30, 2020, Adjusted net profit (1) was $23.5 million, which increased by 24% from the $19.0 million in the same period of the previous year.

Net profit for the fourth quarter was $6.9 million, and $20.4 million the year ended September 30, 2020, representing an increase of 2% from the $20.0 million in the same period of the previous year.

"Our ninth consecutive record revenue quarter capped a year in which we recorded our highest ever Revenue, EBITDA and Net Income," stated Patrick Houston, CFO. "Our focus on profitable growth was seen with 26% revenue growth and EBITDA growth of 36%. These results were accomplished in a rapidly changing environment due to COVID-19 which necessitated our team of dedicated professionals in each of our segments to adapt quickly and continue to deliver essential products and services."

"COVID-19 has resulted in a rapidly changing business environment, but our teams continued to adapt and find news ways to deliver our services which were deemed essential in all of our segments," said Kevin Ford. "I would like to thank all frontline health and essential service workers for their dedication and courage during this very challenging, ongoing public health crisis. Our own dedicated staff at Calian have been out there delivering essential services alongside other frontline health workers, Canadian Armed Forces members and many other service workers. From all of us at Calian, we offer our deepest appreciation for your service."

"I would like to also officially welcome the Tallysman team to Calian, an acquisition we completed in the last month of the quarter. Offering the most extensive range of Global Navigation Satellite System, Iridium and Globalstar antennas, Tallysman excels at supporting the requirements of any project, anywhere in the world. We look forward to their continued innovation as a global leader and are excited to have them on the Calian team" stated Ford.

"Looking forward, our initial guidance demonstrates our confidence in Calian maintaining a growth profile in this new fiscal year. I believe our diversified segments with a mix of domestic and global customers positions us well to navigate through the challenges created by COVID while continuing to execute our growth strategy," continued Ford.

(1) Caution regarding non-GAAP measures:

This press release is based on reported earnings in accordance with IFRS. Reference to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) means IFRS, unless indicated otherwise. This press release is also based on non-GAAP financial measures including EBITDA, adjusted net profit and adjusted net profit per share. These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS; therefore, others using these terms may calculate them differently. Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to IFRS measures, provides users of our financial reports with enhanced understanding of our results and related trends and increases transparency and clarity into the core results of our business. Refer to the MD&A for definitions of these metrics and reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measures.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to most comparable IFRS measures

These non-GAAP measures are mainly derived from the consolidated financial statements, but do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS; therefore, others using these terms may calculate them differently. The exclusion of certain items from non-GAAP performance measures does not imply that these are necessarily nonrecurring. From time to time, we may exclude additional items if we believe doing so would result in a more transparent and comparable disclosure. Other entities may define the above measures differently than we do. In those cases, it may be difficult to use similarly named non-GAAP measures of other entities to compare performance of those entities to the Company's performance.

Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to IFRS measures, provides users of the Company's financial reports with enhanced understanding of the Company's results and related trends and increases transparency and clarity into the core results of the business. Adjusted EBITDA excludes items that do not reflect, in our opinion, the Company's core performance and helps users of our MD&A to better analyze our results, enabling comparability of our results from one period to another.

The weighted average shares outstanding over the period presented increased largely because of equity financing in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020. The equity financing closed in February 2020 resulted in an additional 1,568,600 common shares being issued. Along with other equity transactions throughout the year, the total common shares outstanding grew from 7,929,238 at September 30, 2019 to 9,760,032 as at September 30, 2020. The fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding increased to 9,855,357 for the three-month period and 9,104,498 for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020 when compared to 7,965,442 and 7,863,361, respectively, for the same periods of the previous year.

The Company uses adjusted net profit and adjusted earnings per share, which remove the impact of our acquisition amortization and gains, resulting in accounting for acquisitions and changes in fair value to measure our performance. These measurements better align the reporting of our results and improve comparability against our peers. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-GAAP measures in the evaluation of issuers. Management also uses non-GAAP measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Adjusted profit and adjusted earnings per share are not recognized, defined or standardized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards. Our definition of adjusted profit and adjusted earnings per share will likely differ from that used by other companies (including our peers) and therefore comparability may be limited. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for or be considered in isolation from measures prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Investors are encouraged to review our financial statements and disclosures in their entirety and are cautioned not to put undue reliance on non-GAAP measures and view them in conjunction with the most comparable International Financial Reporting Standards financial measures. The Company has reconciled adjusted profit to the most comparable International Financial Reporting Standards financial measure as shown above.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Barack & Michelle. Jay-Z and Beyonce. Will & Jada. What do these pairs have in common? Two words: "Power Couple". In some way, each of these couples embodies a level of excellence, sophistication, and accomplishment that is becoming of such a title. Being successful individually is difficult enough, but doing it simultaneously is the ultimate couple goal that only those with extraordinary compatibility can achieve. Mike Pirtle and La-Tisha Pirtle make one of those rare couples, and with each other's support and their mutual drive for growth, the pair is successfully building their empire out of Indianapolis, IN.

Mike and La-Tisha Pirtle are serial entrepreneurs, both owning multiple businesses that they operate hand-in-hand while building a family. Their work situation allows for the flexibility needed to balance being engaged – loving parents & hands-on CEO(s), allowing one's strengths to cover for the other's weaknesses and thus keeping the unit strong.

It's easy to see how impressive the couple is collectively, but it's a special case to find a true equal in your partner. While the Pirtle pair are unbreakable together, they are formidable each in their own right. La-Tisha builds and maintains physical properties with MonaVation General Contractors and MaidMe Cleaning professionals, which are construction and maid service companies, respectively. Mike, on the other hand, helps people "Discover their I" with ELiTE, a purpose-driven brand focused on building excellence through mindset. The ELiTE Coalition is a network of mentee entrepreneurs with which Mike builds and markets intellectual properties. At the same time, ELiTE Garb furthers the message of "Understanding your I" by becoming the best version of yourself every day.

Both have dedicated time to serving our country in the armed forces as well. The couple honed their skills & experience in Germany as members of the Air Force, Mike as a satellite communications technician, and La-Tisha in marketing as a civilian in the Force Support Squadron. There, she earned base-wide recognition for her indispensable contribution to marketing to one of the world's largest Force Support units.

Their individual & collective success in the military and the experience it facilitated gave them a vast amount of life & organizational experience, widening the scope of their worldview. Inspired by the varying perspectives in life that they have encountered, they decided to set out on a life of entrepreneurship.

Mike & La-Tisha launched the ELiTE Foundation with the purpose of empowering others through a philosophy aimed at unlocking a higher version of self while arming members with the tools and resources to further their visions allow their mentees to expand their horizons on the endless possibilities that await them.

Enthrall U is a brand and business education platform that has led to over $7 million in revenue for its network of brand builders who have completed the Brand Construction System Accelerator program and applied what they learned to their brands. Graduates of the program are later invited to the ELiTE Coalition, which functions as a central resource for progressive minds where they can consume positive media and connect with like-minded people.

JUPITER, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (Nasdaq:JUPW), announced today they are initiating a clinical study of its CaniSun™ sunscreen lotion for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK), the most common precancer that forms on the skin as a result of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. The Skin Cancer Foundation, estimates 58 million Americans have one or more AK lesions which appear as raised, scaly discolored patches on sun exposed skin. Left untreated, approximately 20% of AK lesions progress to squamous cell carcinoma.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate Canisun as a treatment for Actinic Keratosis by evaluating the efficacy in both treatment and prophylaxis of patients. The clinical study will recruit an estimated 116 adults diagnosed with Actinic Keratosis and will be conducted by Applied Biology (Irvine, CA) The primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage of patients with complete clearance of AK lesions.

CaniSun is an over-the-counter (OTC) product, which in addition to being an effective sunscreen, may act as a prophylactic treatment to prevent AK from occurring and/or to inhibit its progression into squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer). Current treatment protocol for AK is surgical removal and/or medication. Treatments on the market include the prescription cream Imiquimod, an immune response modifier; however, such creams may cause adverse side effects including intense local inflammation. CaniSun's potential efficacy may position it as an alternative therapy.

"I am excited to work with Applied Biology in the clinical evaluation of Canisun, which may have the potential to offer relief from this side-effect to patients exposure to UV rays" said Brian John CEO of Jupiter Wellness. "Initiating this AK study represents an important opportunity for Jupiter Wellness to obtain patient data and evaluate any potential benefits of our sunscreen products".

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / November 2020 / Keeping up with the demands and enforced health restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic is the stress management, self-care, fitness, and nutrition coach Sarah Alysse.

Photo Credit: Erik Marthaler

Seeing the difficulties of holding face-to-face consultations and appointments with her clients, Sarah Alysse has made the switch. She is now welcoming individuals to her virtual office called ‘Live Well Enhance You.'

The health and wellness company offers the same quality services that Sarah presented to her clients. Along with helping people achieve and maintain a healthier lifestyle by addressing the root of their health concerns, ‘Live Well Enhance You' is set to reflect the celebrated fitness coach's extensive portfolio and passion in the field.

Sarah Alysse's journey towards fitness and nutrition began when she was in college. At the lauded Columbia College of Chicago, Sarah was a musical theater student who had to take up several dance units.

With the performance art being a fundamental component of her studies, the young coach spent most of her time stretching her limbs and flowing to the sound of music. This proved challenging to her, however, as Sarah struggled with balance and core stability.

To ground herself while dancing, she joined several pilates sessions and reaped the benefits in a short time, finding herself in front of a standing crowd and deafening applause. After obtaining her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theater, Sarah traversed Europe and rekindled an old passion for fitness.

When she returned to the United States, Sarah Alysse took STOTT PILATES courses and became a certified Pilates instructor. This allowed her further to explore the connection between the body and the mind. In the following years, the fitness enthusiast began collecting other certifications and titles, such as Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, NASM-CPT, Total Barre™, TRX®, ZEN•GA, Kriser's Cycling Foundations, Master Trainer: Bellicon Move, Bellicon Bounce, Bellicon Circle.

As more certificates and plaques decorated her walls, Sarah considered getting her start in the health and wellness business. It wasn't until her father's diagnosis with Stage IV Kidney Cancer; however, did her passion for stress management coaching begin to ignite.

After her father's unfortunate passing, the fitness and nutrition expert made it her mission to provide corporate clientele the necessary tools to find the right balance between their careers and personal life.

"Today, I use my knowledge to help people get to the root of their concerns with my three pillar solution to success: Stress Management or Self Care, Fitness, and Nutrition," Sarah shares. She has tailored her materials individually, incorporating them into a healthy roadmap to success in her leading program ‘Elevate Your Life,' which the coach has made available on ‘Live Well Enhance You.'

Realizing her desire to help people create fulfilled lives, Sarah Alysse offers individual sessions where she and her client focus on understanding their brain-gut connection, develop mindfulness around their stress, and enhance fitness performance with functional movements. By continually holding space and finding new activities for clients, the stress management and fitness coach lets them know that they aren't alone in their journey to become better and healthier people.

In the near future, Sarah is planning to further her reach through a podcast entitled "Stress Free SOULutions with Sarah," created to feed her listeners' mind and soul. The podcast will offer advice about stress reduction and welcome notable guest experts' presence to shed light on day-to-day health concerns plaguing individuals everywhere.

Aside from "Stress Free SOULutions with Sarah," the coach also has her heart set on writing a book that will document her own journey with stress and discuss methods and techniques to help her readers deal with theirs.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org) has launched a new blog post that presents several factors that affect the premiums and how drivers can pay cheaper car insurance in California.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-do-you-pay-so-much-on-car-insurance-premiums

Car insurance rates have a tendency to rise over time. Besides that, there are several factors that affect the costs of car insurance like higher costs of medical bills, increased prices of newer vehicles, and others.

The most common factors that affect the price of car insurance are the following:

Address. The location where a driver is living has a major impact on the price of insurance. Different areas have different insurance rates that are influenced by theft rates, vandalism, traffic congestion, hailstorms, and others. Drivers that live in large cities will pay higher insurance rates than those that live in small rural communities.
Driving record. Drivers that have safe driving habits are less likely to be involved in accidents and will pay less on their insurance rates. On the other hand, drivers that have at-fault accidents, speeding tickets, DUI, convictions, and other traffic violations in their driving records will pay much more on their premiums. Furthermore, drivers that have numerous traffic violations will have a hard time finding an insurance company that is willing to sell coverage to them.
Gender. Statistics show that male drivers are usually involved in more severe accidents than female drivers and are more likely to die than females. Therefore, insurers will charge more on male drivers (especially young drivers) than female drivers. Drivers that live in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, will be relieved knowing that the insurers can't use the gender in order to determine rates.
The type of car. Certain car models have higher claim rates than others. Usually, these types of vehicles are more likely to be involved in accidents or to be stolen. Drivers that own one of these vehicles will pay higher insurance rates. Policyholders that own vehicles that have high safety ratings will manage to save money on car insurance.
Credit history. Insurance companies consider that drivers that have a credit score under 600 to be riskier to insure, and for that, they will charge more on their insurance. Drivers that live in California, Hawaii, and Massachusetts are in luck because the local legislation doesn't allow the insurers to use their credit score to determine insurance rates.

The herbalists at Dao Drops identified this as a serious issue in the market, and used it as an opportunity to develop natural products without the use of alcohol, or other degrading ingredients. On this topic, Dao Drops writes, "We are very pleased with the response from the market thus far and will only grow further from here."

ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Since Congress voted to eliminate the Federal Individual Mandate, and effectively did so beginning in tax year 2019, many states have adopted state individual mandates. Now, Applicable Large Employers must meet ACA reporting requirements with both the IRS and their state agency.

To alleviate the additional stress of state mandated ACA Reporting, ACAwise supports filing with the following states:

California – Employers of California now have new responsibilities under the state's Healthcare Law, this means they must report on the health insurance coverage offered to their employees residing in California to the California Franchise Tax Board. ACAwise has access to file your Forms 1094 and 1095 with the CaliforniaFranchise Tax Board before the March 31, 2021 deadline.

The District of Columbia mandates healthcare reporting that mirrors the ACA's mandate closely. Employers are required to report coverage information to the state regarding all of their employees residing in D.C. With ACAwise, employers can electronically file the ACA Forms 1094 and 1095 with the District of Columbia's Office of Tax and Revenue by the deadline on April 30, 2021.

Massachusetts – Massachusetts is unique and has a specific form that employers must use for their ACA reporting. This is the Form MA 1099-HC, which must be filed electronically with the Department of Revenue by the March 31, 2021 deadline.

The residence was inspired by the Muckross House, a nineteenth century Victorian mansion set against Killarney Park in Ireland. The Muckross House was built by William Burn, a well-known Scottish architect, and was completed in 1843.

Boasting no-expense-spared finishes throughout, the sprawling main floor hosts multiple open-plan living and dining zones infused with a graceful grandeur. The living room is fringed by a wall of windows to frame the panoramic views of the exquisite property. A comfortable yet cosmopolitan family room with fireplace opens to the patio and pool, as well as the kitchen and breakfast room.

An unrivalled example of kitchen artistry also awaits. The kitchen features modern finishes and is adorned with a wall of steel doors and windows that open to glorious gardens.

Gathering with guests? Select a refreshment from the glass-faced wine cellar to be enjoyed in the stately formal dining room with butler's pantry or raise a toast by the bar downstairs. The expanses of integrated indoor/outdoor living zones are also ideal for entertaining with covered patios capturing enticing panoramas of the landscaped grounds. What will instantly impress, however, is the superb pool house. Elevated amongst the emerald green lawns and lush gardens, this stone and slate pool house is equipped with all you need for an effortless soiree. Regale guests with a feast prepared in the outdoor kitchen, light the fire, and switch on the big screen TV for background ambience. Retractable screens are also fitted for convenience in this prized pavilion where you can soak up stunning vistas of the heated saltwater pool and spa. Gather by the firepit that is adjacent to the pool house, which is complete with an office and bathroom.

Each of the 6-bedroom suites are showcased by a high level of sophistication and cohesion, including the lavishly scaled and light-filled master suite. Proudly sprawled over an entire wing, its interiors are soothing, with a private balcony perfectly placed to maximize an outlook across the exquisite grounds, as well as a handsome study complete with a double-sided fireplace. At the end of the day, pamper yourself in the master bathroom with double vanity, dual dressing rooms, and soaking tub, or why not indulge in your own day spa?

The terrace level celebrates wellness with a gym, yoga room, steam room and sauna, and spa bathroom. After your spa visit, enjoy your stay on the terrace level that features a wine room, full bar, billiards, fireplace, and two sets of French doors that open out to the pool and covered patios.

Along with an attached guest wing with kitchen and four additional bedroom suites, this residence includes an elevator, generator, and a conditioned gardening room. There is also attached parking for 4 cars as well as a grand motor court which greets you on arrival through wrought iron gates.
