News Release

HorizonPointe Financial Group Analyst Forecasts: Semiconductor Industry Accelerating Supply Chain Diversification as Regional Production Capacity Emerges as Competitive Focus

Rev Up Marketers

The global semiconductor industry is undergoing a profound transformation, with supply chains rapidly shifting toward multi-regional parallel production models. According to industry data, more than 30 major semiconductor companies have announced significant supply chain adjustment plans since the first quarter of this year. This shift marks the industry's evolution from decades of focus on globalized production efficiency toward a model emphasizing supply chain resilience and regional balance. Analysts point to geopolitical tensions and trade policy adjustments as core factors driving this transformation. HorizonPointe Financial Group Chief Analyst and Director Andrew Evan Watkins stated in an interview: "We are witnessing a fundamental transformation in the semiconductor industry. Companies are no longer simply pursuing cost minimization, but are focusing more on building resilient production networks capable of responding to multiple challenges." Investigations reveal that leading chip manufacturers have begun simultaneously expanding capacity across multiple regions. New facility investments in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia have nearly doubled compared to the same period last year. Particularly noteworthy is that advanced packaging technology has become a focal point for competitive development across regions. "Advanced packaging could become the breakthrough point for regionalized production," explained Jennifer Miller, supply chain expert from HorizonPointe Financial Group. "However, equipment supply and specialized talent remain key factors constraining expansion speed. Successful companies are addressing these challenges through forward-looking talent development and equipment procurement diversification." Industry observations show significant differences in adaptation capabilities across different market segments. Memory chip manufacturers demonstrate relatively higher geographic flexibility, while advanced logic chip manufacturers face greater challenges when replicating highly complex processes. Concurrent with supply chain restructuring is a transformation in corporate inventory strategies. Industry reports indicate that major chip manufacturers have increased critical component reserves by approximately 40% while implementing more advanced tracking systems to optimize inventory management. Downstream electronics manufacturers are also adjusting procurement strategies to adapt to these changes. "Multi-source procurement has become standard practice," an industry expert noted, "single-supplier models carry too much risk in the current environment." HorizonPointe Financial Group's analysis emphasizes that these changes represent not merely cyclical adjustments but industry restructuring with long-term structural significance. Watkins pointed out: "What we're seeing is the semiconductor industry establishing new operational foundations that will reshape the global industry landscape for years to come." Experts predict that as regional production networks mature, semiconductor supply chain resilience will significantly strengthen, though challenges of rising costs and efficiency adjustments may be faced in the short term. Industry leaders are working to find a new balance between security and efficiency. About HorizonPointe Financial Group: HorizonPointe Financial Group is an independent research and analysis company focused on global economic and industry trends. The company was established in 2003 with headquarters in California, providing industry-specific insights in technology supply chains, manufacturing trends, and cross-border trade dynamics.

PowerPollen Receives Foundational Patent for Groundbreaking Pollen Storage Methodology

PowerPollen

PowerPollen, an agtech company improving crop pollination for increased agricultural productivity and profitability, has received U.S. Patent 12,245,587 for its groundbreaking process of using solid particulates blended with fresh pollen grains to protect pollen’s viability during storage. As the industry leader in commercial scale pollen collection, application and storage, PowerPollen’s IP strategy has been a key part of protecting their innovation while rapidly scaling to support global seed companies and farmers since the company was founded in 2015. PowerPollen collects, preserves and applies pollen to corn, wheat, rice, and other important crops, eliminating the previously required dependency on natural pollen shedding to pollinate female plants. This process enables the ability to more reliably and cost-effectively produce high-quality seed farmers plant for crops. Corn, rice, wheat and barley rank as the top four grain crops grown globally. This patent is part of a one-of-a-kind portfolio of intellectual property PowerPollen has secured in their pursuit to increase the productivity, profitability and sustainability of modern agricultural practices. “Our initial key discoveries more than a decade ago – and our ongoing innovation since – has enabled PowerPollen to scale our unique pollination tech stack of collection, storage and application to commercial levels in agriculture—helping farmers and seed production partners increase yields without increasing other inputs,” said Jason Cope, Chief Intellectual Property Officer, PowerPollen. “Our discoveries changed the previously held notion that row crop pollen was not capable of being stored for any duration. The ripple effect can clearly be seen by the consistent yield improvements in fields that PowerPollen has treated with stored pollen.” Achieving Production and Sustainability in Modern Agricultural Practices In 2015, PowerPollen began looking for ways to improve in-field crop pollination by collecting pollen and storing it for targeted application. In their discovery process, the greatest problem they encountered was that pollen tends to form large clumps when stored, which results in a rapid decline in pollen health. “We theorized that when a pollen grain dies, its walls lose integrity and the contents of the dead cell leak out, contacting other pollen grains in the batch being stored,” Cope said. “This causes adjacent pollen grains to die, resulting in the large clumps of dead pollen cells.” PowerPollen created a unique, cost-effective production process that blends fresh pollen with different materials that separate the live pollen grains from each other. This now patented process prevents the live pollen grains from contacting any material leaked from dead pollen grains, thus dramatically extending and prolonging the pollen’s viability. Today, PowerPollen holds the most patents for pollination-based technology, crop application and related innovations, based on over a decade of intellectual data and discovery and more than eight years of commercial field data and ongoing innovation. Because of its novel technology and the founders’ understanding of marketplace realities, IP strategy has been a critical part of the business to usher in the best technology advancements for customers. Patent Reinforces PowerPollen's Leadership in Pollination Technology for Agriculture “Seed crop producers today use incredibly innovative breeding techniques yet risk it all with pollination methods that haven’t changed for generations,” Cope said. “With this patent claim, we continue to execute our IP strategy focused on the foundational building blocks of pollination-enabling technologies – and advancing this innovation across crops and geographies at the pace, scale and reliability critical to advancing higher-yield and climate-resilient food production.” Seed industry partners already look to PowerPollen’s ability to practice on-demand pollination even within fields that are planted in the normal male to female row ratio. Pollination efficiency is the key rate limiting factor for yield and kernel quality. Further, producers can improve their seed purity by intentionally applying quantities of desirable pollen, which out competes undesirable pollen. By ensuring yield, quality and purity are all maximized, PowerPollen can generate significantly more value per acre. PowerPollen’s technology will be used on thousands of acres again this season across the U.S., with expansion planned globally. Customers interested in a demo or learning more can contact PowerPollen.com. PowerPollen offers a breakthrough, scalable technology to collect, preserve and apply pollen on-demand to help improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of modern farming practices. Following multiple seasons of year-round field trials, PowerPollen’s patented pollination technology increases yield and improves the quality of commercial hybrid corn seed production. The company has applied its technology across thousands of commercial acres over the past several years. PowerPollen is headquartered in Iowa with additional research operations in Puerto Rico and Texas. Learn more about how PowerPollen’s on-demand pollination technology works at www.powerpollen.com.

Nuvectis Pharma's NXP900: Could This Revolutionary Cancer "Inactivator" Transform Oncology Treatment?

Global Markets News

Investors seeking the next breakthrough in precision oncology may want to take note of Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT)*, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing, among other candidates, NXP900 - which a a new analysis is describing not merely as a cancer inhibitor, but a complete cancer pathway "inactivator." The new analysis, published on notable investment newsletter “ Truffle Pigs ”, provided a comprehensive review of Nuvectis Pharma’s NXP900. Beyond Traditional Inhibition According to the Truffle Pigs blog, NXP900 represents something entirely new in cancer treatment. Unlike traditional kinase inhibitors that merely slow cancer signaling, NXP900 is characterized as the "first SRC kinase inactivator" - a distinction that could prove crucial in the fight against resistant cancers. The analysis highlights that NXP900 functions as a "type 1.5 inhibitor" that locks the SRC kinase in its inactive state, effectively shutting down all cancer signaling pathways and keeping them disabled between doses. This complete inactivation mechanism potentially offers a significant leap beyond current therapies. Promising Clinical Data Recent data presented at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting appears to support this thesis. According to the analysis, NXP900 demonstrated: Perhaps most intriguing were results showing that when combined with AstraZeneca's blockbuster drug osimertinib (Tagrisso), NXP900 demonstrated significant tumor regression and extended tumor control even after treatment ended - suggesting potential for durable responses or even complete responses in certain patients. Dual Market Opportunity The analysis notes two major market opportunities for NXP900: Single-agent therapy for SRC/YES1-driven tumors, potentially addressing approximately 20,000 lung cancer patients annually Combination therapy for overcoming acquired resistance to targeted drugs like osimertinib (EGFR) or lorlatinib (ALK), potentially addressing up to 70,000 non-small cell lung cancer patients annually While established companies like AstraZeneca generate nearly $7 billion annually from Tagrisso targeting approximately 20,000 new EGFR-mutated patients each year, Truffle Pigs' analysis suggests NXP900's broader applicability could potentially drive peak sales of $12-15 billion across various cancer indications. Investor Perspective With only 23 million shares outstanding and a current market cap of 219 million, Nuvectis represents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity typical of early-stage biotech. The company recently raised capital through a public offering of common stock, extending its cash runway into 2027 on what many would consider impressive terms given the market backdrop. Phase 1b trials targeting biomarker-selected cancers are expected to commence shortly, with potential clinical response data anticipated later this year.Notably, the original blog highlighted that that while the author held a position in Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT), he was not compensated to write or publish the content. In other words, one might say that the author has “skin in the game”. As with all development-stage biotechnology companies, significant risks remain. analysis appropriately notes that as with all companies in the field - regulatory approval hurdles, high clinical failure rates, capital intensity, potential market competition, uncertain revenue streams, and broader economic factors all present considerable risks that investors should take into account when conducting their due dilligence.

AdvicePay Acquires AdvisorBOB, a Leading Advisor Compensation Platform

AdvicePay

AdvicePay, the industry-leading platform for managing billing, payments, and compliance of fee-for-service financial planning, today announced the acquisition of AdvisorBOB, the leading independent advisor compensation software company. This marks AdvicePay’s first acquisition and a strategic step forward to support the full revenue lifecycle for advisory firms, from billing clients to paying advisors. The transaction reflects AdvicePay’s continued focus on strategic, customer-driven growth. It was completed without the need for outside capital, a reflection of the company’s strong financial foundation and disciplined approach to expansion. AdvisorBOB adds complementary functionality to AdvicePay’s offering, enabling firms to automate advisor compensation and eliminate manual spreadsheet-based processes. “AdvicePay was created to solve the pain points around billing and compliance for fee-for-service financial planning. Expanding into compensation is a natural extension of that mission,” said Alan Moore, AdvicePay Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We consistently hear from firms that comp is a major operational headache. This isn’t about replacing software – it’s about replacing spreadsheets. It becomes a critical need the moment you have variable comp. You need a system that gets it right, down to the penny.” AdvisorBOB automates complex advisor compensation calculations and payout tracking, offering transparency, line-item detail, and time-saving efficiencies for back-office teams. Firms using both platforms will be positioned to ensure clients are billed properly and advisors are paid accurately, without the manual burden. “Our origin story is very similar to that of AdvicePay, as we are both advisor-founded technology companies built because there weren’t products that fit our needs,” said James Spinelli, Founder of AdvisorBOB and Chief Executive Officer of Great Valley Advisor Group. “AdvisorBOB joining AdvicePay allows us to help even more firms simplify operations and scale with confidence.” AdvisorBOB’s team, including Chief Executive Officer Colton Pence, will join AdvicePay and continue to operate from its offices in Berwyn, PA. “With this acquisition, AdvicePay is validating the contributions AdvisorBOB has made to advisor practices,” Pence said. “Together, we’re well-positioned to help firms grow with the operational infrastructure they need.” This move aligns with AdvicePay’s long-term vision: to support the full advisor revenue flow—from invoice to payout—with modern tools and actionable data. While both platforms will continue to operate independently for now, the future potential of their combined capabilities opens the door to deeper insights and better back-office experiences for firms. “We’re not shifting to an M&A strategy,” added Moore. “This was an opportunity that aligned perfectly with our roadmap and values. AdvisorBOB and AdvicePay are powerful on their own—but together, they make the back office smarter, faster, and more scalable.” AdvicePay was advised by Cooley LLP as legal counsel, with financial advisory support provided by Turkey Hill Management, LLC. AdvisorBOB’s legal counsel was provided by Stradley Ronon.

Rising Water Tables in the Southern U.S. Spotlight Need for Sustainable, Waterproof Concrete Solutions

The Hoyt Organization

May 1, 2025 - With rising water tables and an uptick in extreme weather events across the Southern United States, engineers, builders, and municipalities are turning to Smart Concrete as a long-term, sustainable solution to fortify critical infrastructure against flood risks, abrasion, corrosion and climate-related damage. Recent studies have shown that groundwater levels across states like Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and Georgia are increasing due to a combination of sea level rise, heavy rainfall patterns, and overburdened drainage systems. Consequently, there are higher likelihoods of flooding not just along coasts, but inland as well, putting foundations, stormwater systems, and essential infrastructure at increasing risk of failure. According to First Street’s 2025 National Risk Assessment, which projects a nearly $1.5 trillion dollar drop in property values from climate-related migration patterns, the nation’s most risky markets for climate-related property loss are all in Texas, including the metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and Houston – all of which have experienced recent population surges amid increasing insurance costs associated with extreme weather. Smaller markets have been less resilient to these economic and environmental threats. For instance, in Jefferson County, Ala., the damage has already been done, triggering a 9.4 percent spike in climate-related insurance costs and a subsequent 25 percent plunge in population, the report found. Key infrastructure such as highways, airports and large-capacity garages are increasingly vulnerable to water-related corrosion in the South and that durable concrete is a viable long-term solution to those challenges, according to Patrick Kelly, Territory Manager – Central U.S. for Kryton International, a leading manufacturer of high-performance concrete. “It’s largely a threat from below,” Kelly said of the South’s rising water tables and increasing flood risks. “Traditional concrete structures can deteriorate rapidly when exposed to persistent water pressure, freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical ingress. Our waterproof concrete technology is designed to combat these exact challenges while reducing the need for costly maintenance and repair.” Waterproof Concrete: A Sustainable Advantage Unlike surface coatings or short-term sealants, waterproof concrete is engineered at the mix level with crystalline admixtures that resist moisture intrusion from the inside out. When compared to traditional concrete, this internal waterproofing not only prolongs structural life but also contributes to sustainability goals by: Reducing carbon-generating material waste from repairs and replacements Improving lifecycle performance with lower initial carbon footprint Enhancing climate resilience in transportation, utility, and commercial infrastructure Waterproof concrete is increasingly being adopted in: Underground parking structures and basements Tunnels, culverts, and stormwater management systems Coastal and low-lying public works projects High-performance industrial facilities in flood-prone regions “With even more extreme weather on the horizon, future-ready construction starts with resilient materials,” said Kryton International’s Vice President for Product Development, Kevin Yuers. “Waterproof concrete isn’t just a product — it’s a strategy for climate adaptation.” ABOUT KRYTON Kryton International Inc. is the inventor of the crystalline waterproofing admixture and has been waterproofing concrete structures with its proprietary KrystolÂ® technology since 1973. Kryton has won awards for innovation, manufacturing, best place to work, and entrepreneurship. Kryton is an active member of the American Concrete Institute, International Concrete Repair Institute, American Shotcrete Association, and many other thought-leading organizations.

Sardius Media Powers Gather25

Digifora

Sardius Media was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. It exists to make mission-driven broadcasting and online event planning easier and more engaging. This is done through its first-in-class media platform as well as elite support from its experienced team of veteran software engineers and event specialists. Learn more at sardius.media. Sardius Media Powers Gather25 Sardius Media helped broadcast Gather25 for a non-stop 25-hour marathon on March 1, 2025. In that time, seven million Christians tuned in from around the globe. The event marked the debut and first full-scale test of Sardius Media’s AWS Elemental Anywhere, which amplified the reach of the event to 225 countries, providing live streaming and real-time AI and human interpretation in 87 different languages. The Global Impact of Gather25 Gather25 made history as an unprecedented 25-hour global broadcast uniting millions of Christians in prayer, worship, repentance, and commissioning. The broadcast streamed live sessions from seven locations in the United States, New Zealand, Malaysia, Romania, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, and Peru. This reached an audience of over 3.1 million unique users and over 21,000 self-organized gatherings (with a potential group reach of over seven million). These included a Dzaleka refugee camp in Malawi and 5,000 individuals gathered outdoors in Cebu City, Philippines. Notably, 117,000 U.S. prison inmates participated through the PandoApp from God Behind Bars. Amy Bay, Executive Director of Gather25, said, “What we saw at Gather25 was a picture of heaven — believers from every nation, tribe, and language coming together with one mission: to make Jesus known. We are so grateful to the Sardius team for the broadcast technology to pull it all together; it wouldn’t have happened without them.” Jonathan Sheehan (Future City Now, Renewed Vision), the producer of the event, said, "For decades, I’ve been producing large-scale events, and by any measure, Gather25 was a monumental undertaking. The sheer scope of the event, paired with the complexity of the technological challenges, demanded more than just vendors—we needed true partners. That’s exactly what we found in the Sardius team. Their skilled professionals dove into the trenches with us, collaborating tirelessly to bring this vision to life. The resulting millions who joined the event is a testament to a great partnership.” Architecting a Historical Broadcast Sardius Media was presented with a complex challenge to deliver a seamless broadcast delivery experience to this large global audience. In addition, they had to support real-time translation of AI and human interpretation in 87 different languages with a wide array of delivery options, including live interpreters, AI closed captions, voice interpretation, and core broadcast streams. Encoding numerous concurrent streams for such a long broadcast was a unique challenge, as well. The Sardius Team came together with event partner Future City Now to develop a global design aesthetic for the event. This incorporated complex workflows to seamlessly deliver the right content to the right audience in real time. Sardius Media accomplished this by leveraging AWS’s new Elemental MediaLive Anywhere product for its first large-scale deployment. They collaborated closely with the AWS team to ensure flawless performance and maintained this even when the popular Bible App YouVersion notified 36 million users to join the event, leading to a robust response. The AWS-powered streaming infrastructure managed the complexities without skipping a beat, delivering a resilient, scalable live stream for more than a full day and carrying the hope-filled message of Gather25 to every corner of the earth. Overcoming Unexpected Challenges With Agility and Innovation One challenge from Gather25 demonstrated the Sardius Media team’s agility in implementing its solutions and adapting to real-time barriers. Less than 24 hours before the event, the main fiber circuit into the studio master control was severed by an unexpected car accident. Sardius Media swiftly coordinated with various partners, secured alternate internet solutions, and rerouted encoder traffic. This ensured the stream was ready on time. Other unexpected challenges arose during the live stream, but each was efficiently addressed by the experienced Sardius team. Jason Shore, co-founder of Sardius Media, reflected on the milestone achievement, saying, “Gather25 pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in live streaming. Our team’s ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver under pressure made this a defining moment — not just for us, but for the global Church.” Gather25 showcased Sardius Media’s leadership in live streaming for mission-driven events — and this is just the beginning. Upcoming product updates and their continued AWS partnership promise even more innovation for future gatherings.
