Cash provided by operations of $709.3 million offset by capital expenditures of $421.2 million resulted in free cash flow of $288.1 million. Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Guidance The Company initiated its fiscal year 2025 financial guidance. Details are summarized as follows: Fiscal 2025 total revenue of $4,080 - $4,158 million (organic growth of 6% to 8%) CVI revenue of $2,733 - $2,786 million (organic growth of 6.5% to 8.5%) CSI revenue of $1,347 - $1,372 million (organic growth of 4% to 6%) Fiscal 2025 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $3.92 - $4.02 Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance excludes amortization and impairment of intangible assets, and certain income or gains and charges or expenses including acquisition and integration costs which we may incur as part of our continuing operations. With respect to the Company’s guidance expectations, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to GAAP diluted earnings per share due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting acquisition-related, integration and restructuring charges and expenses, which are reconciling items between the non-GAAP and GAAP measures. Due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of such charges and expenses that impact GAAP diluted earnings per share, the Company is not able to provide such guidance. Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results To supplement our financial results and guidance presented on a GAAP basis, we provide non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, as well as constant currency and organic revenue growth because we believe they are helpful for the investors to understand our consolidated operating results. Management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, to make operating decisions, and to plan and forecast for future periods. The non-GAAP measures exclude costs which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. We provide further details of the non-GAAP adjustments made to arrive at our non-GAAP measures in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations below. Our non-GAAP financial results and guidance are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. To present constant currency revenue growth, current period revenue for entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar are converted into United States dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the corresponding period in the prior year. To present organic revenue growth, we excluded the effect of foreign currency fluctuations and the impact of any acquisitions, divestitures and discontinuations that occurred in the comparable period. We define the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is useful for investors as an additional measure of liquidity because it represents cash that is available to grow the business, make strategic acquisitions, repay debt, or buyback common stock. Management uses free cash flow internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate our business. In addition, we use free cash flow to help plan and forecast future periods. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. EPS, amounts and percentages may not sum or recalculate due to rounding.

Lindsey Vonn takes another step in comeback at age 40, competes in a pair of downhillsHopes for a Santa Claus rally on Wall Street fell Friday as tech stocks slid lower, while a weaker yen lifted Japanese equities New York, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Dec, 2024) Hopes for a Santa Claus rally on Wall Street fell Friday as tech stocks slid lower, while a weaker yen lifted Japanese equities. US indices slumped to end the holiday week, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite losing 1.5 percent. Shares in Tesla were closed around 5.0 percent lower, while those in AI chipmaker Nvidia shed around 2.0 percent. Wall Street stocks have historically performed well around the year-end holidays in what is popularly known as a Santa Claus rally. A Christmas Eve jump in equities got the Santa rally off to a flying start and indices barely budged in Thursday trading. Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare also pointed to an increase in 10-year US Treasury bond yields to around 4.6 percent, which he noted is a rise of nearly 0.9 percentage points since the US Federal Reserve made its first recent interest rate cut in September. "The Fed doesn't hold sway over longer-dated maturities like it does over shorter-dated securities, so the bump in rates at the back end of the curve is being watched with an anxious eye as a possible harbinger of a pickup in inflation and/or the budget deficit," O'Hare said. Wall Street stocks took a knock earlier this month when the Fed indicated it would likely cut interest rates less than it had previously expected to. That was in part because of uncertainty tied to President-elect Donald Trump's vow to raise import tariffs, which could boost inflation that is already proving sticky. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei index closed up nearly two percent, with the yen's recent weakness proving a boon for major exporters. The yen hit 158.08 per US dollar on Thursday evening -- its lowest in almost six months -- following comments made by Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda that failed to give a clear signal on a possible interest rate increase next month. Recent data has showed Japan's inflation rose for a second month in December, while industrial production declined less than expected in November and retail sales came in higher than estimated last month. Japan's government also on Friday approved a record budget for the next fiscal year, ramping up spending on social welfare for its ageing population and on defense to tackle regional threats. In Seoul, the stock market closed down one percent after the won plunged to a nearly 16-year low of 1,487. 03 against the dollar on Friday morning. South Korea is struggling to emerge from political turbulence in the wake of President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration this month, which prompted his impeachment. Acting President Han Duck-soo was also impeached Friday in a vote that prompted governing party lawmakers to protest with angry chants and raised fists. South Korea's business outlook for January fell in the Bank of Korea's composite sentiment index, the biggest month-on-month slide since April 2020, according to data based on almost 3,300 firms released Friday. In Europe, Frankfurt's DAX index rose after German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier dissolved parliament on Friday and confirmed the expected date for the early general election, emphasizing the need for "political stability" in Europe's largest economy. - Key figures around 2115 GMT - New York - Dow: DOWN 0.8 percent at 42,992.21 (close) New York - S&P 500: DOWN 1.1 percent at 5,970.84 (close) New York - Nasdaq Composite: DOWN 1.5 percent at 19,722.03 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.2 percent at 8,149.78 (close) Paris - CAC 40: UP 1.0 percent at 7,355.37 (close) Frankfurt - DAX: UP 0.7 percent at 19,984.32 (close) Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 1.8 percent at 40,281.16 points (close) Seoul - Kospi: DOWN 1.0 percent at 2,404.77 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 0.1 percent at 20,116.93 (close) Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.1 percent at 3,400.14 (close) Euro/dollar: UP at $1.0429 from $1.0424 on Thursday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.2579 from $1.2526 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 157.89 yen from 158.00 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 82.87 pence from 83.19 pence West Texas Intermediate: UP 1.4 percent at $70.60 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: UP 1.2 percent at $74.17 per barrel burs-rl/rlp/bys/sms TOYOTA MOTOR INVESTOR AB S&P Global Ratings NETFLIX Tesla Amazon.com
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke coach Manny Diaz says quarterback Maalik Murphy will face discipline “internally” after extending both of his middle fingers skyward in celebration after throwing a long touchdown pass early in the weekend win against Virginia Tech . Diaz said Monday that Murphy's exuberant gesture, caught on the ACC Network national broadcast, was directed at offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer in the booth after a bit of practice “banter” from a few days earlier. Diaz said the Texas transfer just let his excitement get away from him but still called it “unacceptable in our program." Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

NoneVERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — Aidan Bouman threw a go-ahead touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and Quaron Adams followed with a 70-yard touchdown on a reverse as No. 4 seed South Dakota pulled away late to beat 13th-seeded Tarleton State 42-31 on Saturday in the second round of the FCS playoffs. South Dakota will host the winner of Saturday's matchup between No. 5 seed UC Davis and 12th-seeded Illinois State in the third round. The Coyotes (10-2) trailed by seven points four times until Bouman connected with Keyondray Jones-Logan for a 12-yard touchdown and a 35-31 lead with 9:36 left to play. Tim White intercepted a Victor Gabalis pass, giving South Dakota the ball at its own 15-yard line. Adams, a sophomore receiver, raced to the end zone three plays later for his first career rushing touchdown and the Texans (10-4) never recovered in their first trip to the postseason. Gabalis threw three first-half touchdown passes, giving Tarleton State leads of 7-0, 14-7 and 21-14 at halftime. Travis Theis had two short touchdown runs in the first half to pull the Coyotes even and his 2-yard scoring run 51 seconds into the fourth quarter tied it at 28. Tarleton State took its last lead on a 23-yard field goal by Corbin Poston with 11:23 left to play. Bouman completed 18 of 22 passes for 213 yards and also had a 5-yard scoring toss to Jones-Logan off a deflected pass that stood up to a video review and tied the game at 21. Theis carried 25 times for 130 yards. Gabalis totaled 379 yards on 23-for-31 passing with four touchdowns and three interceptions. Darius Cooper caught nine passes for 161 yards and three scores.

So what's the bottom line? Airlines, which have historically seen relatively mild (if not weak) returns for investors, have had an impressive year in 2024, despite industry volatility and an environment that has still seen high fuel prices and high interest rates. According to data from Yahoo Finance, the commercial airline sector has seen calendar-year returns of 33.4%, despite being relatively flat over the past month . Get all the latest aviation news from Simple Flying! What is interesting about these returns is not just the fact that they are positive in a difficult macroeconomic environment, but rather the fact that the S&P 500 has seen returns of 14.58%, less than half that of the commercial airline industry. Across the board, everyone from legacy airlines to regional subcontractors to aircraft lessors has seen impressive success in a year when projections were likely low, except for low-cost airlines which saw returns on par with the market (or worse) . One specific airline has seen an impressive year, one that will certainly go down as one of the best in the company's history. Regional subcontractor SkyWest Airlines has seen year-to-date returns of over 110%, the second-highest in the US airline industry after United Airlines, a carrier that has also seen one of the best years on record when it comes to stock performance. The nation’s largest regional carrier is in hot water with the federal government, the Association of Flight Attendants, and its own inflight workers. The airline's performance has been remarkable With such impressive performance, SkyWest has certainly captured the headlines this year, and it certainly has strong ambitions for growth over the next twelve months. Nonetheless, industry observers continue to examine the company's keys to success and evaluate what has led to such bullish growth over the past year. Let's take a deeper look at SkyWest's impressive year so far, and what might be behind the airline's performance. SkyWest's business model has remained the same post-pandemic In the United States, full-service commercial airlines are restricted from operating aircraft beneath a certain takeoff weight, which typically limits them from operating anything smaller than a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 family jet. However, there are often smaller markets that do not have enough demand to routinely fill aircraft this large, creating a system in which legacy carriers operate regional subsidiaries, which contract flights out to regional operators. Each airline and its regional subsidiary are as follows: Legacy airline: Regional subsidiary: United Airlines United Express Delta Air Lines Delta Connection American Airlines American Eagle SkyWest is one of the largest regional subcontractors, and it operates flights for the three main legacy carriers . That is to say that, if you are flying on Delta, American, or United's regional subsidiary, you could be flying on a flight operated by SkyWest. The airline continues to drive profits from charging airlines like Delta, American, and United to operate these kinds of flights. SkyWest's operating model has remained the same while the airline industry has changed significantly since the years before the COVID-19 pandemic. The carrier has continued expanding its fleet while growing its partnerships and optimizing its cost structures. So what exactly has been behind the carrier's success this year? While there are likely many factors that have influenced the company's success over the past year, two major moves made by the airline are likely to have a strong influence on its positive financial performance. Early last year, SkyWest purchased a 25% ownership stake in Contour Airlines, an independent regional airline with hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Nashville, Phoenix, and Philadelphia . This purchase gave SkyWest access to Contour's assets and operational capabilities, while it launched its operations under a Part 135 license, which is given to airlines operating non-scheduled charter flights. SkyWest will also offer Contour support, by providing the airline with CRJ200 aircraft and working alongside the carrier to assist in the recruitment of young pilots. It will also attempt to help older pilots find opportunities in the workplace outside the cockpit, according to FlightGlobal . The airline also signed an agreement in March with United Airlines, which would allow the carrier to operate an additional 20 Embraer 175 aircraft for the airline. This new arrangement would be unique, as SkyWest would not be supplying its own aircraft, with United financing the fleet, according to a different FlightGlobal report . So what's the bottom line? At the end of the day, SkyWest has had an impressive year, and its growth has likely been driven by a decision made by the carrier which saw it expand both its footprint and its industry influence. For starters, the airline has grown through its acquisition, much in line with the mergers and purchases that have helped the company grow over time. The airline will also continue to further its partnership with United Airlines, which accounts for a large portion of SkyWest's business. Currently, the airline operates over 180 aircraft for United Express, flying to destinations across the United States. This deal has likely had a positive effect on market sentiments surrounding SkyWest, given the fact that United Airlines has continued to give hints that it will likely be reducing its regional operations in years to come, but seems steadfast in its relationship with SkyWest. Despite its success, the airline will likely have some challenges to face in the coming years. Essential Air Service funding , which forms a significant portion of SkyWest's funding in the form of route subsidies given to airlines that serve regional routes, could be eliminated in the coming years, with a President about to take office that promises large-scale budget cuts.Keion White says he hopes the 3-13 New England Patriots are on track to make major changes this offseason. "If changes aren't made, then what are we doing?" White asked after the Patriots recorded a sixth straight loss on Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers (h/t Mike Giardi of Boston Sports Journal. ) When asked what changes he was hoping for, White answered, "That's not for me to decide." Patriots wideout Pop Douglas sounded similarly dispirited after Saturday's loss. "I'm just tired of losing," Douglas said, per Giardi . The Patriots last won a game on Nov. 10 in Week 10 action against the Chicago Bears. The team has been eliminated from playoff contention since Week 13.
