Eric Rondolat, CEO of Signify, comments: "Today’s results show the continued momentum of our business. Despite headwinds in China and in the Professional business in Europe, we achieved further sequential improvements in the fourth quarter, with a particularly strong performance from the Consumer business. We are encouraged by the improvements we have seen over the past quarters. We successfully managed the decline of the Conventional business, as the rest of the business performed in line with our markets. We continued to see growth in our connected and specialty lighting businesses, driven by underlying demand for energy efficient and innovative solutions. We maintained a strong gross margin as we fully compensated price pressure in some markets with COGS savings. The cost reduction program we successfully implemented delivered EUR 131 million of savings in line with our commitment, supporting a resilient bottom line. Our Adjusted EBITA is 9.9% for the full year and includes a drag effect of 40 bps from the slowing contribution of the Conventional Business, highlighting our ability to navigate challenging market conditions with our three digital businesses. We achieved a strong free cash flow of 7.1% of sales, which includes a cash out related to the restructuring program and a reduction of our US pension liabilities. Available free cash flow was used to reduce EUR 440 million of debt. As a result, we have strengthened our balance sheet and reduced interest charges for the coming years. Thanks to these achievements, we are updating our capital allocation policy. We will increase our dividend to 1.56 EUR per share in 2025 and will launch a share buyback program in Q1 of up to EUR 150 million to be executed by year-end. This is part of a planned EUR 350-450 million share buyback program planned until the end of 2027. Looking to 2025, we expect the momentum in our business will build throughout the year, resulting in low single digit topline growth for Signify excluding Conventional and a stable EBITA margin compared to 2024. On top of this, we are expecting a free cash flow generation in the range of 7-8% for the year. We are closing the year in a significantly stronger position than we entered it. While work remains to accelerate our progress and ensure our businesses deliver sustained growth for the years ahead, we have the structure and strategy in place to achieve our goals. Our accomplishments are made possible by the outstanding commitment of Signify employees around the world who have consistently approached complexity and change with dedication and adaptability.” Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 Signify completed its fourth year of its Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 sustainability program, making continued progress towards doubling its positive impact on the environment and society by the end of 2025. Signify was on track to deliver on three of its sustainability program commitments: Double the pace of the Paris AgreementSignify is on track to reduce emissions across the entire value chain by 40% against the 2019 baseline - double the pace required by the Paris Agreement. This is driven by Signify's leadership in energy efficient and connected LED lighting solutions, which significantly reduce emissions during the use phase. Double Circular revenuesCircular revenues decreased slightly from third quarter to 35% this quarter, still well ahead of the 2025 target of 32%. The main contribution was from serviceable luminaires. The decline was caused by the discontinuation of one specific luminaire family. Double Brighter lives revenuesBrighter lives revenues increased to 33% this quarter, putting us ahead of our 2025 target of 32%. This includes strong performance from both professional luminaires and consumer light sources. Double the percentage of women in leadershipThe percentage of women in leadership positions dropped to 28%, off track versus the 2024 target. Signify continues its efforts to increase overall representation through focused hiring practices for diversity across all levels. Focus remains on building strong succession pipelines, and engagement actions to reduce attrition. In the fourth quarter, Signify received several external recognitions for its leadership in Sustainability. Signify was included in the DJSI World Index for the 8th consecutive year and achieved the EcoVadis Platinum rating for the 5th consecutive year. Outlook For 2025, Signify expects sales momentum to build throughout the year, leading to low single digit comparable sales growth excluding Conventional. Signify also expects a stable Adjusted EBITA margin vs. 2024 with the Professional, Consumer and OEM combined compensating the drag of the Conventional business. Signify targets a free cash flow generation of 7-8% of sales. Capital allocation Capital allocation policy Signify's capital allocation policy is to maintain a robust capital structure and maintain an investment grade credit rating, to pay an increasing annual cash dividend per share year on year, to continue to invest in organic and inorganic growth opportunities in line with its strategic priorities, and to provide additional capital return to shareholders with residual available cash. Debt Repayment In 2024, Signify successfully repaid EUR 440 million of gross debt and reduced its US pension liabilities by USD 48 million by settling the main defined benefit plan. The net debt/EBITDA leverage ratio reduced to 1.3x, from 1.7x in 2023, while avoiding a significant increase of annual interest charges in the coming years. DividendSignify proposes a cash dividend of EUR 1.56 per share for 2024, in line with its policy to pay an increasing annual cash dividend per share year on year. The dividend proposal is subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) to be held on April 25th, 2025. Further details will be provided in the agenda for the AGM. Launch of share repurchase programSignify announces a share repurchase program for a total of EUR 350-450 million of shares until the end of 2027. This will include share repurchases to cover share-based remuneration obligations. Signify intends to cancel the remainder of the shares repurchased. This initiative underscores our commitment to create value for shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility to support growth opportunities. As part of this program, Signify intends to repurchase shares for an amount of up to EUR 150 million to be completed by the end of 2025, starting in Q1. This will include an allocation of approx. EUR 30 million to cover share-based remuneration obligations, with the remainder allocated for the cancellation of shares. Signify is committed to the planned three-year share repurchase program, subject to changes in corporate activities, such as M&A, or material changes in the business environment. The share repurchase program will be executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the AGM held on May 14, 2024 and of the authority to be granted by future AGMs. Conference call and audio webcast Eric Rondolat (CEO) and Zeljko Kosanovic (CFO) will host a conference call for analysts and institutional investors at 9:00 a.m. CET to discuss the fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results.

NextGen expands into the cryptocurrency market, acquiring approximately 10,000 Solana coins (SOL)– NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES – Fredericton, New Brunswick, Jan. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextGen Digital Platforms Inc. (CSE:NXT) (FSE:Z12) (“NextGen” or the “Company”), a publicly traded company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), is pleased to announce its strategic entry into the rapidly expanding cryptocurrency sector. NextGen has entered into a letter of intent dated January 26, 2025 (the “Letter of Intent”) with a publicly-listed technology company (the “Vendor”) to acquire (the “Acquisition”) the claim of approximately 10,000 Solana coins (the “SOL”) or an equivalent cash amount (the “Crypto Proceeds”, and together with the SOL, the “Crypto Assets”). The Acquisition marks the start of NextGen’s strategy to build a strong digital asset portfolio, offering investors exposure to the growing cryptocurrency market. The Vendor is a publicly traded technology company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). These assets are currently held by Genesis Global (the “Custodian”), a cryptocurrency lender and market maker that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2023 due to financial difficulties. After completing its restructuring in August 2024, Genesis began distributing approximately $4.0 billion in digital assets and cash to creditors, including the Crypto Assets, which are now being distributed. The Custodian is currently subject to certain bankruptcy proceedings, and as a result, the Crypto Assets are in the process of being distributed by the Custodian to the Vendor. In light of the restructuring of Genesis, there is no guarantee that any Crypto Assets will be advanced to the Vendor and NextGen or that any Consideration Shares will be issued. Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, NextGen plans to acquire the Crypto Assets from the Vendor for up to C$5.5 million, subject to receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including from the CSE and TSXV. The acquisition will be fully paid with the issuance of NextGen common shares (the “Consideration Shares”). Following the release of each tranche of Crypto Assets to the Vendor by the Custodian (each a “Custodian Delivery Date”), the Vendor will, within three (3) business days of such Custodian Delivery Date, deliver to NextGen the applicable SOL, or if so elected by the Custodian, the Cash Proceeds, which shall be equal to the number of SOL subject to such tranche. However, if the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of SOL on coinmarketcap.com over the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the applicable Custodian Delivery Date is less than a reference SOL price, NextGen may elect not to proceed with the acquisition of the applicable Crypto Assets subject to such tranche, and no Consideration Shares will be issuable in exchange therefore. In exchange for such Crypto Assets, NextGen will issue to the Vendor 540 common shares at a discounted market price for each SOL coin or equivalent received. However, that in the event that the NextGen’s common shares trading on the CSE immediately prior to a Custodian Delivery Date is less than the $0.75, then the Vendor may elect to not proceed with the acquisition of the applicable Consideration Shares subject to such tranche and no Crypto Assets will be issuable in exchange. All Consideration Shares issued pursuant to the Acquisition will be subject to a statutory 4-month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction of various conditions including, without limitation, the receipt by the Company and the Vendor of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals and other conditions customary for a transaction of this nature, and entering into a definitive agreement on or before March 15, 2025. The Acquisition is an arm’s length transaction and there will be no changes to the Company’s board or management in connection with the Acquisition. No finder’s fees are expected to be paid in connection with the Acquisition. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the 1933 Act or under any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.

The Chicago Plan, originally proposed during the Great Depression, envisioned a radical restructuring of the financial system to eliminate instability caused by speculative credit cycles. While its principles once seemed impractical, the advent of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) now offers the technological means to implement it. Yet, the promise of stability comes with a hidden price: the disappearance of commercial banking as we know it and a shift toward unprecedented centralization of financial power.

The following is a summary of the updated outlook for each of our segments, as well as an outlook for revenue, capital expenditures, net interest expense, liquidity, free cash flow and tax rate for fiscal 2025. Certain of the outlook numbers include adjusted operating income (loss) (a non-GAAP metric) for each segment. The Company is not able to reconcile its full-year fiscal 2025 projected adjusted results to its fiscal 2025 projected GAAP results because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for these forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Adjusted operating income (loss) should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss) or any other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should rely primarily on the Company’s GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. BeefUSDA projects domestic production will decrease approximately 1% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. We anticipate adjusted operating loss between $(0.4) billion and $(0.2) billion in fiscal 2025. PorkUSDA projects domestic production will increase approximately 2% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. We anticipate adjusted operating income of $0.1 billion to $0.2 billion in fiscal 2025. ChickenUSDA projects chicken production will increase approximately 2% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. We anticipate adjusted operating income of $1.0 billion to $1.3 billion for fiscal 2025. Prepared FoodsWe anticipate adjusted operating income of $0.9 billion to $1.1 billion in fiscal 2025. International/OtherWe anticipate improved results from our foreign operations in fiscal 2025 on an adjusted basis. Total CompanyWe anticipate total company adjusted operating income of $1.9 billion to $2.3 billion for fiscal 2025. RevenueWe expect sales to be flat to up 1% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. Capital ExpendituresWe expect capital expenditures between $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion for fiscal 2025. Capital expenditures include investments in profit improvement projects as well as projects for maintenance and repair. Net Interest ExpenseWe expect net interest expense to approximate $375 million for fiscal 2025. LiquidityWe expect total liquidity, which was $4.5 billion as of December 28, 2024, to remain above our minimum liquidity target of $1.0 billion. Free Cash FlowWe expect free cash flow to be between $1.0 billion and $1.6 billion for fiscal 2025. Tax RateWe currently expect our adjusted effective tax rate to approximate 25% for fiscal 2025.

The non-GAAP financial measures are tools intended to assist our management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis. These non-GAAP measures should not be a substitute for their comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures helps management and investors to assess our operating performance from period to period, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt, enhances understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends. These measures are widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our calculation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way, which may limit their usefulness of comparative measures. Definitions EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Net debt to EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA) represents the ratio of our debt, net of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Tyson and Adjusted EPS are defined as EBITDA, Operating Income (Loss), Income before Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense, Net Income Attributable to Tyson and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding the impacts of any items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis. Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Provided by Operating Activities minus payments for Property, Plant and Equipment.
