AI and Digital Innovation to Cut Australian Freight Costs by 5%, New Research Finds

SYDNEY, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — New research from Manhattan Associates (NASDAQ: MANH) reveals that 81% of Australian supply chain leaders expect new technologies to reduce freight costs by at least 5% by 2030, highlighting growing confidence in the role of digital innovation to drive efficiency and resilience.

With Australian logistics networks stretched by demand and rising costs, the findings point to an industry rapidly modernising to keep pace with expectations for speed, capacity and sustainability.

“Transportation has evolved beyond simply moving goods from one place to another,” said Raghav Sibal, Vice President, APAC at Manhattan Associates. “It is about how fast, how efficiently and how sustainably businesses can operate. Australian organisations recognise the urgency of modernising their transport operations to stay competitive.”

Transforming supply chain systems is a critical priority in Australia with researching showing that 100% of local supply chain leaders believing their current transportation management systems (TMS) will struggle to keep pace with growing demands for speed, capacity and cost reduction over the next five years. As a result, many organisations are responding by deploying data-led tools to improve forecasting accuracy and optimise decision-making. Sixty-four per cent of businesses say they are already using predictive analytics or AI-driven forecasting, while 59% have integrated these tools within their broader supply-chain-planning systems.

“The collapse of several long-standing transport operators this year shows how quickly the industry is changing,” Sibal said. “Leaders recognise that resilience won’t come from adding more trucks or warehouses but from building smarter, more connected networks that can adapt when disruptions hit.”

Integration is emerging as a crucial focus. Sixty-three per cent of Australian businesses report real-time connectivity between their TMS and other supply-chain systems, enabling smarter transport planning, greater responsiveness and tighter cost control. Warehouse and inventory-management systems were cited as the most valuable integrations for increasing efficiency.

Additionally, sustainability remains a strategic priority. Over half (53%) of organisations report full compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and 44% expect significant improvements in transportation sustainability by 2030. This growing emphasis on accountability and carbon reduction highlights the link between responsible operations and long-term business performance.

“Visibility, unification and intelligence are becoming the foundations of the modern supply chain,” added Sibal. “Australian businesses are making steady progress, but continued investment in smarter systems and connected technologies will be essential to strengthen resilience, control costs and meet evolving customer expectations in the years ahead.”

Sidd Ahmed, CEO of VDart Group, Named Most Admired CEO 2025 by Atlanta Business Chronicle

ATLANTA, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sidd Ahmed, the founder and chief executive officer of VDart Group, a global leader in digital technology staffing, product development and solutioning firm, has been named an honoree for the 2025 Atlanta Most Admired CEO Awards by ACG Atlanta and the Atlanta Business Chronicle. This award recognizes exceptional leaders across the metro Atlanta area who demonstrate vision, operational excellence, and a deep commitment to culture and community.

Sidd leads VDart with a philosophy he calls his “North Star”: people, purpose and planet. These three principles guide every decision. “We are in the people business,” he often reminds his teams. “Our higher purpose is to transform the trajectory of people’s lives.”

In an interview with the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Sidd reflected on how this values-driven philosophy guided him through defining moments, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with unprecedented uncertainty, he made the decision to keep every employee on payroll after posing a pivotal question to his leadership team: “What if an employee is their family’s sole breadwinner?” That clarity drove him to safeguard jobs while many companies faced deep cuts. “By standing with our team during one of the most challenging periods in recent history, we preserved trust, morale, and loyalty,” said Sidd Ahmed.

Under Sidd’s leadership, VDart has grown into a diversified global enterprise encompassing VDart (global talent solutions), VDart Digital (managed services in IT, ERP, Cloud, GenAI and custom applications), VDart BPM (business process management), VDart EPC (construction and engineering staffing), Vouch.io (enterprise digital trust), and Hidden Curve (digital marketing as a service); collectively employing more than 3,500 people across 8 countries. His experience building international teams has shaped VDart’s emphasis on opportunity creation and inclusive growth, reinforced by initiatives such as VDart ESG, which supports underprivileged children, individuals with disabilities, and communities affected by natural disasters. His social media initiative, “Project Sidd,” reaches more than 2+ million followers on Instagram, Youtube, Facebook and Linkedin with insights on career development, entrepreneurship and the mindset that drives his community called “The Positive Tribe”.

Sidd has also steered VDart through emerging challenges in the digital talent landscape. In response to rising AI-enabled résumé fraud and impersonation, he led the creation of BeRecognized.io and VerifiedID, identity-verification platforms expected to support more than 20 million consumers. He continues to advocate for large-scale workforce upskilling as AI reshapes industries. “By combining verification and upskilling, we help both employers and candidates navigate the future of work with confidence,” said Sidd Ahmed.

Sidd’s leadership has earned recognition including the Atlanta Business Chronicle‘s Entrepreneur of the Year award, multiple Best and Brightest Companies to Work For honors for VDart, and statewide acknowledgment through organizations such as ACG Atlanta’s Georgia Fast 40. His entrepreneurial journey has been profiled in national business media and studied in graduate business programs for its blend of grit, innovation, and inclusive economic development.

(3)   Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income before depreciation, amortization, interest expenses and income tax expenses, and further adjusted to exclude the shared-based compensation expense and non-recurring items such as impairment of investments in equity investees, gain/(loss) on disposal of equity investment and subsidiary which management aims to better represent the underlying business operations.

(4)   One ADS represents one Class A ordinary share.

(5)   Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share attributable to ordinary shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is defined as adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted American depositary shares, respectively.

Mr. Meisong Lai, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZTO, commented, “Focusing on quality and increasing market presence while maintaining healthy earnings is ZTO’s unwavering long-term strategy. During this quarter, we grew volume by 9.8% to reach 9.6 billion parcels and we delivered 2.51 billion adjusted net income which increased 5%. Our retail volume’s growth momentum remained strong at nearly 50% and continued to bring positive contribution to margin.”

Mr. Lai added, “During the third quarter, government’s appeal for anti-involution not only brought mitigating effect towards social stability but also influenced the industry turning towards quality development versus merely quantity expansion. Being the industry leader, ZTO is called upon to exemplify with increasing rigor, and we renewed our commitment to strengthening our own capabilities while addressing genuine concerns. Nearly all industries go through stages of competition and true strength will sustain. Despite complex macro environment where uncertainties remain, we believe ZTO will continue to build strength in quality, scale and profitability and drive healthy sustainable growth for the long run.”

Ms. Huiping Yan, Chief Financial Officer of ZTO, commented, “ZTO’s core express ASP increased by 2 cents. The 14 cents in higher volume incentives and 2 cents from lower average weight per parcel were absorbed by 18 cents increase in KA unit price. Combined unit sorting and transportation costs decreased 5 cents driven by transportation cost productivity. SG&A costs remain structurally stable at 5.3% of revenue. Cash flow from operating activities grew 3.2% to 3.2 billion, and capital spending was 1.2 billion for the quarter.”

Ms. Yan added, “With visibility into the final quarter of the year, we are adjusting down the annual volume guidance to be in the range of 38.2 to 38.7 billion parcels representing a year-over-year growth of 12.3% to 13.8%. Volume is crucial to our business, and network stability is the foundation for sustainable future growth of our company. As macro environment continues to evolve and industry dynamics shifts towards healthier growth, we maintain confidence in our ability to execute the overall corporate strategy as well as tackle challenges at hand to become a world leading logistics service provider.”

Exchange Rate

This announcement contains translation of certain Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of readers. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Renminbi to U.S. dollars were made at the exchange rate of RMB7.119 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate on September 30,2025 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Systems.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share attributable to ordinary shareholders, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating ZTO’s operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to its U.S. GAAP financial measures are shown in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details about the non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company believes that such Non-GAAP measures help identify underlying trends in ZTO’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the related expenses and gains that the Company includes in income from operations and net income. The Company believes that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share attributable to ordinary shareholders provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by ZTO’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share attributable to ordinary shareholders should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share attributable to ordinary shareholders presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to ZTO’s data. ZTO encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Mr. Tiezheng Li, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, “We delivered resilient results in the third quarter of 2025 against a dynamic regulatory backdrop in China. Net revenue rose 6.4% year-over-year to RMB3.5 billion, while net income grew 2.7% to RMB640.7 million. These results reflect our strong execution of our ‘Local Excellence, Global Outlook’ strategy, which fueled a stable performance in China and accelerated international momentum.

“Our international business reached a record 25.0% of total revenue and continues to serve as a natural hedge to our China business. Cumulative international borrowers reached approximately 10 million, with new borrowers up 18% quarter-over-quarter. Supported by proven risk systems, growing AI capabilities, and proactive regulatory adaptation, we remain confident in capturing long-term growth opportunities and creating sustainable value for all stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Li.

Mr. Jiayuan Xu, Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, continued, “Our third quarter financial performance demonstrated the strength and resilience of our diversified business model. We proactively managed credit standards in China amid industry-wide changes and delivered exceptional growth across our international operations, with transaction volume up 33% year-over-year to RMB3.6 billion. Revenue from international markets also grew 37.4% year over year, underscoring our accelerating global traction.

“Meanwhile, we maintained a robust balance sheet with RMB7.0 billion in cash and short-term investments and a stable leverage ratio of 2.4x, providing ample flexibility. As of September 30, 2025, we had strengthened capital efficiency by repurchasing US$66.5 million in shares since the beginning of the year, reaffirming our commitment to disciplined shareholder returns,” concluded Mr. Xu.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was RMB3,486.6 million (US$489.8 million), compared with RMB3,276.1 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation service fees, net interest income and other revenue, partially offset by the decrease in guarantee income.

Loan facilitation service fees were RMB1,334.4 million (US$187.4 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,253.1 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees in the international markets, partially offset by the decrease in the transaction volume in the China market. 

Post-facilitation service fees were RMB430.8 million (US$60.5 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB425.3 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees. 

Guarantee income was RMB1,030.3 million (US$144.7 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,234.8 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market, partially offset by an increase in such loans in international markets, as well as the rolling impact of deferred guarantee income. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment. 

Net interest income was RMB350.8 million (US$49.3 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB185.7 million for the same period of 2024. This increase mainly resulted from the increase in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in both China and the international markets.

Other revenue was RMB340.3 million (US$47.8 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB177.1 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams including other value-added services.

Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue were RMB757.8 million (US$106.5 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB603.1 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher facilitation costs in the international markets.

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB551.9 million (US$77.5 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB560.2 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to improved efficiency and decreased investment in marketing activities in China.

Research and development expenses were RMB139.0 million (US$19.5 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB130.7 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to increased investments in technology development.

General and administrative expenses were RMB100.6 million (US$14.1 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB116.8 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to the increase in operating efficiency.

Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB95.5 million (US$13.4 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB99.0 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreased transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans in the China market. 

Provision for loans receivable was RMB192.3 million (US$27.0 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB82.4 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the outstanding loan balance of on-balance sheet loans in both China and the international markets.

Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB917.3 million (US$128.8 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,123.6 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market, partially offset by the increase in risk-bearing loans in the international markets.

Operating profit was RMB731.9 million (US$102.8 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB560.2 million for the same period of 2024.

Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB769.8 million (US$108.1 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB599.8 million for the same period of 2024.

Other income was RMB44.5 million (US$6.3 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB185.5 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in government subsidies.

Income tax expense was RMB135.7 million (US$19.1 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB121.7 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was mainly due to the increase in pre-tax profit and the increase in effective tax rate. 

Net profit was RMB640.7 million (US$90.0 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB624.1 million for the same period of 2024.

Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB624.3 million (US$87.7 million) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB623.6 million for the same period of 2024.

Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.34 (US$0.33) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.47 (US$0.07) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB2.40 and RMB0.48 for the same period of 2024, respectively.

Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.48 (US$0.34) and non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.50 (US$0.07) for the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB2.55 and RMB0.51 for the same period of 2024, respectively. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB4,237.0 million (US$595.2 million) and short-term investments, mainly in wealth management products and term deposits, of RMB2,799.3 million (US$393.2 million).

The following chart shows the historical cumulative 30-day plus past due delinquency rates by loan origination vintage for loan products facilitated through the Company’s platform in China’s Mainland as of September 30, 2025. Loans facilitated under the capital-light model, for which the Company does not bear principal risk, are excluded from the chart.

Shares Repurchase Update

For the first nine months of 2025, the Company deployed approximately US$66.5 million to repurchase its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs. These repurchases included US$60.7 million worth of ADSs that were repurchased concurrently with the offering of convertible senior notes in June. As of September 30, 2025, in combination with the Company’s historical and existing share repurchase programs, the Company had cumulatively repurchased its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs with a total aggregate value of approximately US$436.6 million since 2018.

Business Outlook

While our financial performance for the first nine months ended September 30, 2025 remains generally in line with our revenue forecast for this period, the recent regulatory changes in China have introduced near-term uncertainties. The Company now expects its full-year 2025 total revenue guidance to be in the range of approximately RMB13.1 billion to RMB13.7 billion, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 0% to 5%.

The above forecast is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current preliminary views and expectations on market and operational conditions and the regulatory and operating environment, as well as customers’ and institutional partners’ demands, all of which are subject to change.

Lion Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change

SINGAPORE, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lion Group Holding Ltd. (“Lion” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: LGHL), operator of an all-in-one trading platform that offers a wide spectrum of products and services, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”), par value US$0.0001 per share, from the current ADS Ratio of two thousand and five hundred (2,500) Class A ordinary shares, to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to thirty-two thousand and five hundred (32,500) Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). The Company anticipates that the ADS Ratio Change will be effective on or about November 26, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).

For the Company’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-thirteen reverse ADS split. On the Effective Date, registered holders of company ADSs held in certificated form will be required on a mandatory basis to surrender their certificated ADSs to the depositary bank for cancellation and will receive one (1) new ADS in exchange for every thirteen (13) existing ADSs then-held. Holders of uncertificated ADSs in the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) and in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) will have their ADSs automatically exchanged and need not take any action. The exchange of every thirteen existing ADSs for one (1) new ADS will occur automatically, with existing ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the depositary bank on the Effective Date.

Lion’s ADSs will continue to be traded under the ticker symbol “LGHL” on the Nasdaq Capital Market. No fees will be charged to ADS holders, for both certificated or uncertificated ADSs, in connection with the exchange of existing ADSs for new ADSs.  No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. The ADS Ratio Change will have no impact on Lion’s underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no Class A ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.

As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, Lion’s ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the ADS Ratio Change will be equal to or greater than thirteen (13) times the ADS trading price before the change.

About Lion Group Holding Ltd.

Lion Group Holding Ltd. (Nasdaq: LGHL) operates an all-in-one, state-of-the-art trading platform that offers a wide spectrum of products and services, including (i) total return service (TRS) trading, (ii) contract-for-difference (CFD) trading, (iii) Over-the-counter (OTC) stock options trading, and (iv) futures and securities brokerage.
