TORONTO, ON, March 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Illuminance has announced its entry into the international market simultaneously with the launch of its global platform, built on its own computational infrastructure powered by a distributed network of quantum nodes (Quantum Node). The platform is designed to support scalable operations across global financial markets, with a focus on high-frequency analytics and automated data processing.The modern economic landscape demands a fundamentally new type of infrastructure — one that goes beyond traditional financial products. With its international launch, Illuminance positions itself not as a standalone platform, but as a next-generation computational layer for the evolving financial ecosystem.At the core of this architecture is the Quantum Node — a distributed computational unit that forms the foundation of the entire system. These nodes are responsible for processing large volumes of market data, performing parallel analytical operations, and enabling high-speed decision-making across the network.Each quantum node contributes to the platform's overall computational power, allowing the system to dynamically scale as the network grows. This distributed approach ensures low latency, high throughput, and stable data processing even under heavy loads.The infrastructure is supported by the Illuminance Grid, which serves as the coordination layer. It synchronizes data flows between quantum nodes, manages task distribution, and aligns AI-based models in real time. Importantly, neither the grid nor the quantum nodes store users' funds or execute financial transactions directly — their role is strictly limited to computation and analysis, providing a clear separation between capital and infrastructure.This architecture enables Illuminance to overcome key limitations of both centralized and decentralized systems, particularly in areas such as high-frequency analytics and real-time market data processing. By separating financial execution from computational intelligence, the platform can operate at scale without overloads, making it highly effective for applications like automated crypto arbitrage.The system is built for continuous expansion. As more quantum nodes are integrated into the network, the platform's analytical capabilities grow, delivering deeper market insights and more efficient trade execution in global trading environments.The launch of the international platform marks a significant strategic milestone, positioning Illuminance as a provider of cutting-edge computational infrastructure for next-generation financial systems.About IlluminanceIlluminance is a technology company developing a high-performance computational layer for global financial markets. Its architecture is based on a distributed network of quantum nodes, complemented by the Illuminance Grid coordination system. Together, they form an infrastructure inspired by quantum technologies and optimized for automated crypto arbitrage. The platform focuses on real-world AI applications to ensure speed, scalability, and resilience in complex market conditions.Media Contact:corporate@illuminanceglobal.comhttps://illuminanceglobal.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Mar 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Guoquan Food (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2517.HK, “Guoquan”) recently released its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company delivered a stellar performance, showcasing remarkable growth resilience within the community catering retail sector.The announcement reveals that while maintaining steady revenue growth, Guoquan has demonstrated a powerful surge in profitability. By adhering to its “community central kitchen” strategy, Guoquan has successfully converted its scale into a profit advantage through deep penetration of lower-tier markets, smart store upgrades, and the “one-product-one-factory” supply chain model.Strong Financial Performance Driven by Substantial Improvements in Earnings QualityIn 2025, Guoquan achieved synchronized growth in scale and efficiency, with financial performance exceeding market expectations. According to the annual results, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded total revenue of RMB 7.81 billion, a year-on-year (YoY) increase of 20.7%. Net profit reached RMB 454 million, representing a stunning YoY surge of 88.2%, marking a major milestone in the company’s profitability. The core operating profit (Non-IFRS measure), which excludes non-recurring items, amounted to RMB 461 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 48.2%. Notably, the profit growth rate significantly outpaced revenue growth, reflecting continuous optimization of earning efficiency. The core operating profit margin rose to 5.9%, further improving from 2024.In terms of profitability, the company maintained a stable gross margin of 21.6%. Cost control initiatives yielded significant results, as the growth rates of selling, distribution, and administrative expenses remained below the rate of revenue growth, allowing for the continuous release of economies of scale. Furthermore, the Board has proposed a final dividend of RMB 0.0381 per share (tax inclusive) for 2025. Total shareholder return via dividends and share repurchases for the full year amounted to approximately RMB 570 million.Elevating Network Scale and Quality Through Lower-tier Market Penetration and Intelligent EvolutionIn 2025, Guoquan further solidified its foundation as a ten-thousand-store enterprise, achieving dual breakthroughs in network scale and operational quality. As of December 31, 2025, the total store count rose to 11,566, with a net addition of 1,416 stores across 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The franchise-led network structure remained stable, supported by a mature and highly efficient operational system.Lower-tier markets functioned as a pivotal growth driver as the company accurately addressed consumption needs across counties and townships. In 2025, Guoquan achieved a net addition of 1,004 township stores, bringing the year-end total to 3,010 and representing 26.0% of the entire network. These township outlets have become a vital pillar of revenue growth by leveraging tailored product assortments and differentiated merchandising that align perfectly with the consumption patterns of lower-tier markets. Meanwhile, the company fast-tracked its intelligent transformation by completing smart and unmanned upgrades for over 3,000 retail stores during the year. The rollout of 24-hour unmanned outlets has successfully extended operating hours and reached a wider range of consumption scenarios, leading to a comprehensive elevation in both operational efficiency and service delivery.Enhancing Omni-channel Operations to Maximize Membership EcosystemGuoquan has built an instant retail network through the deep integration of online and offline channels, establishing the “Guoquan Instant Commerce” system to consistently enhance omni-channel conversion capabilities. The company’s social media and e-commerce performance was particularly strong, leveraging a multi-tiered TikTok (Douyin) account matrix to achieve over 9.41 billion platform exposures. This digital momentum drove store-level GMV on TikTok (Douyin) to RMB 1.49 billion, representing a significant year-on-year increase of 75.3%.The membership ecosystem reached a new milestone as registered members surged to 64.9 million by the end of 2025, up 57.1% year-on-year. The prepaid card program within this ecosystem yielded substantial results, with the year-end prepaid card balance reaching RMB 1.20 billion, a 22.3% increase from the previous year. This vast and highly engaged member base provides a robust foundation for maintaining stable store traffic and executing precision marketing strategies.Fortifying Competitive Moats through Integrated Product and Supply Chain ExcellenceGuided by its core product philosophy of “tasty, convenient and value-for-money”, Guoquan continued to diversify its product matrix in 2025 by launching 282 new SKUs in the hotpot and barbecue categories. The company upgraded its scenario-based offerings, including “Barbecue Camping Container Set”, “Crayfish Feast Set”, and “Six Popular Hot Pot Sets”, while expanding into the beverage segment with NFC fruit juices and craft beers to satisfy diverse consumer needs across all four daily meal occasions.The company also deepened its industrial footprint as the “one-product-one-factory” strategy yielded significant results. During the reporting period, Guoquan operated seven major food production facilities covering core categories such as seasonings, paste and aquatic products, and beef, creating a comprehensive production capacity matrix. The commencement of the Hainan Danzhou food production base further optimized the company’s supply chain radius. This integrated “production-supply-retail” closed-loop system has substantially enhanced upstream bargaining power and cost control, establishing an impenetrable supply chain moat.Scaling Innovative Formats and Unveiling the 2026 Four Stores Strategic BlueprintIn 2025, Guoquan actively explored new consumption scenarios with the successful rollout of innovative formats such as Guoquan Stir-fry and Guoquan Camping. These ventures have successfully extended the business from ingredient retail into freshly prepared meals and outdoor social dining, effectively unlocking a new growth curve for the company.Looking ahead to 2026, the company will focus on the synergistic development of four stores jointly advancing with concerted efforts—county and rural markets, community stores, Guoquan Stir-fry, and Guoquan Camping—to further penetrate lower-tier markets, upgrade community outlets, and expand innovative scenarios. Guoquan has set clear operational targets for 2026: total store count to exceed 14,500 with a net addition of over 2,934 outlets; maintaining a closure rate below 4%; expanding the registered member base to over 95 million; and ensuring that core operating profit growth significantly outpaces revenue growth.

During the Reporting Period, the Company completed several core technology upgrades, including the recovery of waste heat from electrolytic flue gas and fully graphitized cathode retrofitting. This dual empowerment of technology and green initiatives has made the Company’s aluminium products a preferred choice in the international market, precisely meeting the low-carbon transition needs of industries such as lightweight automotive and 3C electronics, further expanding the high-end application market.Active Layout of Global Development Strategy to Enhance International CompetitivenessAs China’s electrolytic aluminium smelting capacity approaches the policy limit and overseas demand for downstream aluminium products continues to rise, the Company is actively responding to the Belt and Road Initiative. The Company is focusing on a global layout by orderly promoting overseas integrated projects with resource and energy advantages. As of the end of 2025, the Saudi project has made key progress both in regulatory approvals and site construction, with work commencing successively. Currently in the early construction stage, these overseas strategic layouts will drive global business growth and help achieve the vision of becoming a green aluminium industry group in the global market.Greening the Globe, Leading the Future: Building a New Modern Green Electrolytic Aluminium EcosystemLooking ahead, the Company will anchor its vision of “building a green aluminium industry group in the global market,” deepening its low-carbon transition and global layout. The Company will continue to increase the share of wind, solar and other green electricity in its energy mix, and achieve a breakthrough in energy efficiency by accelerating technological upgrades and digital-intelligent transformation, driving production toward ultra-low energy consumption. Concurrently, the Company will accelerate the implementation of overseas projects and extend the industrial chain upstream to build an autonomous and controllable global resource guarantee system.

NICOSIA, CYPRUS, Mar 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - FinHarbor recently announced a major update to its modular fintech infrastructure platform, expanding its crypto-fiat functionality and introducing a deeper orchestration layer across all modules. The updated platform bundles IBAN accounts, card issuing, payments and crypto-fiat exchange into a single stack, reducing typical launch timelines from more than a year to roughly one month. The company positions the platform as a ready-to-deploy foundation for fintech startups, embedded finance teams and licensed institutions that want to bring a financial product to market without building the entire stack internally.The problem it addressesLaunching a neobank from scratch is still a long and expensive process. Most teams need 15–20 engineers, more than a year of development, and roughly €1.5–2 million before the first customer can even open an account.FinHarbor's approach is to remove much of that upfront work. The platform comes with core components already integrated: pre-built connectors to banking partners for IBAN and account infrastructure, card processing, payment rails, and crypto wallets. In practice, this means companies can start with a working financial product instead of assembling and connecting multiple vendors themselves.What changed in the new releaseThe main change in the latest version is the introduction of a unified orchestration layer. Earlier versions of the platform offered modular components that could be connected together. The updated release adds a shared data model, a single audit log and compliance logic that operates across all modules.Clients now integrate through one API and operate under a single contract, while still keeping the option to replace individual components if needed.On the crypto side the platform has added extended custody capabilities for clients with specific blockchain integration requirements, broadening the range of supported networks and asset types. The compliance and AML tooling has also been updated, making it easier to configure the system to match each client's internal policies and risk frameworks across different jurisdictions.A recent deployment in four weeksOne EU-licensed fintech company recently used the updated platform to launch a full neobank in 28 days, including IBAN accounts, card issuance and crypto-fiat exchange.The first week focused on core infrastructure: setting up the environment, integrating identity verification through SumSub, and connecting to the banking partner's IBAN account infrastructure.During the second week the team activated card issuing and configured the platform's connections to SEPA, SWIFT, and international payment rails provided by the licensed banking partner.The third week introduced the crypto layer – custodial wallets, exchange logic and fiat ramps.The final week was dedicated to integration testing, white-label interface customisation and the production launch.According to the company, the only noticeable delays were related to compliance approvals with the partner bank – a regulatory step rather than a technical limitation.Industry perspective"The new release is based on a simple idea: orchestration matters more than integration," – said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor."Connecting APIs from several vendors isn't the difficult part. The real challenge is making those components behave like a single product – with unified compliance rules, a shared audit trail and enough flexibility to avoid vendor lock-in. That's the engineering problem we focused on solving."Compliance and target usersThe platform includes built-in AML transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and configurable verification tiers. Suspicious activity reports can be generated in formats accepted by regulators, and every system action is recorded in a unified audit log accessible through the admin panel or API.Companies can operate under their own EMI, PI or VASP licence, or work through a licensed banking partner. The platform is designed to support both models and is aligned with regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and DORA.FinHarbor says the platform is primarily aimed at three types of clients: fintech startups launching an MVP, companies adding embedded financial services to an existing product, and regulated institutions – including banks or government organisations – that need on-premise infrastructure.It is best suited for companies looking to launch and iterate quickly on a proven infrastructure, rather than building every component from scratch.About FinHarborFinHarbor is a technical platform provider for launching compliant, modular financial products – from wallets and neobanks to crypto ramps and OTC desks. Built on years of real-world fintech experience, the platform covers onboarding, compliance, wallets, transactions, cards, and reporting, delivered with a microservice-based architecture (ISO/PCI DSS-certified), a robust API layer, and on-premise or cloud-ready deployment. FinHarbor supports fiat-only, crypto-native, and hybrid business models across markets in Europe, MENA, and beyond.Learn more: www.finharbor.comSocial LinksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/finharbor/Blog: https://www.finharbor.com/blog Media contactBrand: FinHarborContact: Media teamWebsite: https://www.finharbor.com/ Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Further commercial discussions with additional counterparties are ongoing.Together with the 25 million tonnes annual haulage allocated for the Group’s TRA coal mine, the Group has secured up to 34 million tonnes annual throughput for the MBJ Integrated Infrastructure.Coal prices strengthen as global tensions drive energy market rallyGlobal coal prices have surged in recent weeks as geopolitical tensions and gas market disruptions underscores coal’s continued role in supporting grid stability and energy security across Asia.The Group's coal assets, noted for low ash and low sulphur, continue to be in demand among regional power and steel sectors for their "eco‑coal" properties.The ICI4 coal price as of 13 March 2026 was US$59.97 per tonne, representing a 29.3% increase over 4Q2025 average of US$46.37 per tonne. Meanwhile, McCloskey reported trades of US$61-64 per tonne for March and April cargoes relating to 4200GAR coal.Targeted production volume of 11.5 - 12.5 million tonnes in 2026In 2025, the Group achieved record coal production of 12.5 million tonnes, exceeding its target coal production of 10.5-11.5 million tonnes, highlighting the execution capabilities of the Group.Subject to final RKAB approvals, the Group has set a target coal production of 11.5 – 12.5 million tonnes for 2026. Assuming coal production of 115. – 12.5 million tonnes at current coal prices, the Group would be able to generate between US$170 – US$200 million in EBITDA from its coal sales alone (excluding contributions from MBJ infrastructure and marine logistics segments)Commenting on these recent corporate developments, Mr Charles Antonny Melati, Executive Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Geo Energy, said:“Achieving the 80% completion milestone on the MBJ Integrated Infrastructure underscores our disciplined execution and moves us closer to unlocking the full value of our energy platform. At full capacity, MBJ alone is able to generate up to US$300 million in EBITDA per year for the Group.The binding term sheets with third parties for an aggregate haulage volume of 9 million tonnes per annum and the trial agreements with CCCC-Norinco and Shacman demonstrate the strong commercial interest in the Integrated Infrastructure and our readiness for operations.The recent uplift in coal prices further strengthens the Group’s earnings outlook as we progress toward our long-term growth vision of becoming a billion-dollar business and beyond.”Issued on behalf of Geo Energy Resources Limited by 8PR Asia Pte Ltd.Media & Investor Contacts:Mr. Alex TANMobile: +65 9451 5252Email: alex.tan@8prasia.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

(TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces that it has been included in the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index ("MVGDXJ"), the underlying benchmark for the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF ("GDXJ"). Separately, the Company reports the commencement of diamond drilling at Antino North on its Antino Gold Project ("Antino" or "Project") in southeastern Suriname, with a second rig now being mobilized to the area (Figure 1).HighlightsGDXJ Index Inclusion: Founders Metals added to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index in the Q1 2026 quarterly review, triggering passive buying from index-tracking ETFsMaiden Drilling at Antino North: First diamond drill rig now turning where field work has delineated ten parallel gold-bearing structures across a 4 km areaSecond Rig Mobilizing: A second diamond drill rig is being mobilized to test the multi-km historical auger gold anomaly in the east of Antino NorthSurface Results: Previously reported channel sampling at Antino North returned 20.0 m of 2.07 g/t Au including 7.0 m of 5.05 g/t AuAuger Sampling Progress: Founders has collected over 4000 auger samples to date in 2026Colin Padget, President & CEO, commented, "Our inclusion in the GDXJ index is a meaningful milestone for Founders and reflects the market's growing recognition of what we are building in the Guiana Shield and brings new passive and institutional capital into the stock.""On the ground, we are equally excited to be now drilling at Antino North. The shear zones we've mapped in the northwest offer numerous compelling first drill targets where this year's surface work has returned high-grade grab and channel results in geology similar to Upper Antino. With the scale of the new Antino North targets, we are also mobilizing a second rig that will initially test the large historical auger anomaly in the east. We see Antino North as having the potential to become a second centre of gravity within our expanding gold camp."About Founders Metals Inc.Founders Metals Inc. is a Canadian gold exploration company building a district-scale gold camp in southeastern Suriname.

SINGAPORE, Mar 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar’s Operating Profit for FY2025 jumped by 31% YOY to US$23.3, reflecting margin expansion through a better fleet mix. Core Profit increased by 19.2% YOY to US$18.Owned Vessel DivisionOwned vessel revenue rose by 13.8% YOY to US$70.7 million as gross margins for Owned Vessels widened to 41.7% for FY2025 compared to 36.1% in FY2024 despite softer charter rates and lower offshore activity in 2025. Utillization in 2025 was lower than 2024 arising from geopolitical concerns and the early stage of most drilling projects which are shorter term in nature. However, this was compensated by higher revenue from having more Dynamic Positioning (DP) equipped vessels. The Company operated a larger number of units of higher value vessels in FY2025. Chartering Division and Other ServicesGross Profit from the Chartering Division continued to decline with a drop in contribution to US$0.5 million in FY2025 compared to US$1.4 million in FY2024. Some of the declines resulted from a strategic decision to move the Company towards a management fee based ship management business model for better scalability, where the Company now receives fees for various services which are recorded in the Other Services Division. Contribution from Other Services Division has increased by 9.3% YOY by US$0.2 million to US$2.8 million in FY2025.Direct Expenses and Gross Profit With a larger number of DP vessels in operation and more overseas contracts, total crewing costs rose by 10.5%YOY to US$11.4 million for FY2025. Depreciation rose accordingly by 10.4% YOY to US$14.8 million for FY2025 from the full year impact of the additions to the fleet in 2024. One PSV completed reactivation and became operational in 4Q2025. Operation expenses were slightly higher (+2.2%YOY) at US$5.2 million while maintenance costs fell by 2.9% YOY to US$7.3 million. Fuel bunker was significantly lower (-26%YOY) as idle vessels were berthed in Batam on shore power.By December 2025, there were 7 units of PSVs in operation, as compared to 5 units of operational PSVs at end 2024. The Company purchased an additional PSV in late 2025 and she is being delivered to Indonesia and expected to be operational by 2H2026.Total Gross Profit rose by 24.1%YOY to US$32.7 million.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expenses rose by 10%YOY to US$9.4 million for FY2025. The largest increase in indirect expenses came from salary cost, in line with a building out of key technical and operations positions to prepare for scaling up the fleet. Salary expenses rose by 11.9% YOY to US$6.5 million for FY2025, as employee strength increased to 252 from 244. Marketing expenses rose by 17.2% YOY due to fees and commissions as well as bid bond expenses to participate in tenders. Investments in new subsidiaries added 12.6%YOY to office utility costs which amounted to US$0.6 million.As a result, Operating Profit for FY2025 jumped by 31%YOY to US$23.3 million in FY2025 compared to US$17.8 million in FY2024.Other Income, Expenses and Core Net ProfitCash flow from operations have increased due to better revenues and receivables collections, and the Company has also taken on more debt to refinance vessels. As a result, interest expenses rose by 83.5% YOY to US$2.1 million, while interest income doubled to US$1.0 million. The Company is still in a strong financial position with net cash. Associated companies contributed US$4.1 million (+71.5%YOY) from better business conditions.The sale of 2 older mid-tier vessels recorded a gain of US$3.5 million in total. This is much lower than the gain on sale of vessels in the previous year of US$16.1 million as there was a windfall profit in FY2024 from the sale of an older PSV. Total other income was US$7.4 million for FY2025 compared to US$19 million in FY2024.EBITDA for FY2025 increased by 21.8% YOY to US$38.4 milllion, reflecting a significant improvement in operations and cash generation ability of the Company.Stripping out gains on vessel sale, the underlying Core Net Profit attributable to shareholders was US$18.0 million, a jump of 19.2%YOY as compared to US$15.1 million in FY2024.The performance of the Company has contributed to EPS of Rp75.80 for FY2025 against Rp78.35 in FY2024.Industry OutlookThe heightened geopolitical risks in 2025 saw governments around the world prioritizing energy security over long term climate goals. The speed of adoption of Aritficial Inteligence (AI) in every field also accelerated the expansion of data centers, contributing significantly to the increasing demand for power. By late 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) revised up electricity demand growth to 3.7% in 2026, well in excess of average growth of 2.6%p.a. between 2015 to 2023.As a result of these changes, there has been an upward revision in total investment into oil and gas exploration in 2025 compared to 2024, in particular in deepwater drilling. This confirms our positive outlook for strong demand in OSV for the coming few years, particularly in DP equipped OSVs.In early 2026, the attacks on Iran and ensuing retaliation has disrupted oil and gas supplies coming from the Middle East, causing oil prices to spike. Should the Iran war escalate for a longer period, it is likely to trigger even more investment into exploration of new oil and gas reserves as energy nationalism becomes the new normal.Business ProspectsThe Company’s investment in additional fleet has improved the fleet composition and raised revenues and margins in the past year. Indonesia alone has 4 deepwater drilling projects which have been identified as strategic projects by the government and slated to start production between 2027 to 2030. There will be longer term contracts awarded for these projects in the coming year as projects start to ramp up towards the second half of 2026.With stronger cash flow expected in 2026, management is looking to expand the dynamic positioning fleet, and cash will be deployed to fleet expansion, whether through direct purchases of vessels or corporate acquisitions. In 2025, total capex was US$41.7 million, while in FY2026, the Company is budgeting more than double that amount in anticipation of increased OSV demand. This will be funded by internal cash flow and bank loans. Total contracts on hand as at end December 2025 amount to US$59.1 million.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.
