INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (NASDAQ: IEA) (“IEA” or the “Company”), a leading infrastructure construction company with specialized energy and heavy civil expertise, today announced that the Company has been awarded the Jayhawk Wind Farm contract valued at approximately $70 million. Apex Clean Energy, which develops, constructs, and operates utility-scale wind and solar power facilities across North America, awarded this project to IEA Constructors, a subsidiary of IEA that manages utility-scale renewable energy and heavy civil infrastructure projects. The award is for the construction of a utility-scale wind farm in Bourbon and Crawford counties in Southeast Kansas with capacity to inject 190 megawatts (MW) of electricity into the regional grid. Work on the Jayhawk Wind Farm began in February and is expected to be completed in late 2021. Apex will manage construction of the project, and IEA will self-perform all of the engineering, procurement and construction needs of the project, including the construction of project roads, the improvement of existing public roads near the construction site, the installation of collection systems, foundations and substations and the erection of 70 GE wind turbine generators. Kansas is an ideal place for wind construction. According to the American Clean Power Association, the state ranks fifth in the nation for wind power capacity and second for wind energy as a share of total electricity generation, with over 6,500 MW of operating capacity today and 43% of electricity from wind power. “Wind energy is an essential part of Kansas’ electricity generation, and IEA is excited to partner with Apex Clean Energy to continue the state’s transition to a carbon-neutral footprint,” said Chris Hanson, IEA’s Executive Vice President of Renewable Energy. “The project site for the Jayhawk Wind Farm is ideal. With high-voltage power lines already in place and accessible highways that will reduce the project’s need for new infrastructure, IEA will be able to minimize the construction’s environmental impact. In addition to contributing to the state’s goal of carbon neutrality, we are pleased to be able to bring continued employment to the state of Kansas and support local merchants, equipment suppliers and more by reducing their need to import clean electricity from other states.” “We are thrilled to partner with industry leader IEA to make Jayhawk Wind — Apex’s second project in Kansas — a reality,” said Ken Young, Chief Operating Officer of Apex Clean Energy. “During construction, the Jayhawk Wind project will generate significant local spending and create hundreds of local jobs. We look forward to creating, with IEA, an entirely new source of long-term revenue for the Sunflower State and Bourbon and Crawford counties for decades to come.” To date, IEA has constructed more than 20 gigawatts of renewable energy projects across North America. IEA was ranked #2 for wind construction amongst Engineering News-Record’s 2020 Top 400 Contractors. For more information on IEA’s ENR rankings please visit enr.com.

(2)The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairment loss and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results. COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT: “We are pleased with our fiscal 2021 first quarter results, as they exceeded the guidance we provided on our last conference call for gross margin percentage, total SG&A ratio, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pretax income,” stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Contracts per community this quarter increased 74%, clearly indicating that demand for our homes remains very strong. We plan to continue to increase home prices in order to stay ahead of rising costs, maximize our profits and to better align our sales pace with our production capacity.” “Our 85% increase in backlog dollars to $1.67 billion at the end of the first quarter sets us on solid footing to achieve dramatic year over year improvements in our fiscal 2021 financial performance. We ended the quarter with $306 million of liquidity, which provides us with ample capital to control land for future communities. We have made great progress in our land position, and virtually all the land we need to meet our projected deliveries in fiscal 2021 and 2022 is already under contract. Today, our land acquisition teams are primarily focused on obtaining control of land for home deliveries in fiscal 2023 and beyond,” said Mr. Hovnanian. “We remain committed to further strengthening our balance sheet. In July 2021, one year prior to maturity, we currently plan to pay off in full the $111 million of our 10.0% senior secured notes due July 2022. Additionally, we also presently intend to pay off the remaining balance of $70 million of our 10.5% senior secured notes due July 2024 in advance of their maturity. The combination of our expected improved financial performance this year and the potential DTA valuation allowance reversal is expected to meaningfully increase our year end book value per share. Those increases to book value combined with executing on our debt reduction strategy this year would significantly improve our balance sheet,” stated J. Larry Sorsby, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

CaliCard to service consumer businesses including licensed cannabis retail operators Los Angeles CA, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CurrencyWorks Inc. (“CurrencyWorks” or the “Company”), (TSXV: CWRK and OTCQB: CWRK) a financial technology blockchain pioneer and alternative digital payments provider has signed a deal and partnered with leading cannabis retailers to launch a revolutionary digital community currency card and fintech platform. The new CaliCard offering is equipped with a digital wallet that provides compliant banking, digital payments and merchant services to consumer businesses including licensed cannabis retail operators. Calicard’s CEO and Co-founder, Christian Schenk, is the former CEO of Driven Deliveries Inc.. He led the organization through 3 transactions, grew revenue from $30,000 in Q1 2019 to a $25+M/ year, became a leader in online cannabis sales and direct to home delivery network with more than 400 employees across the State of California before selling the business to Stem Holdings, a Florida based Multi State Operator (MSO). “After spending a year and a half in the cannabis industry experiencing first hand the challenges merchants and consumers face when it comes to banking and payment options, it was time to change the game.” Said Christian Schenk, Founder & CEO of CaliCard Inc. “The CurrencyWorks team is a solid, longtime partner of mine and together with our Canadian based fintech partnerships we have established an incredibly disruptive offering that will most certainly have an impact on the industry, especially given our early stage launch partners participation,” Schenk added. CaliCard has been working with 5 major retailers, both online and brick and mortar dispensaries on the cannabis payment functions of the solution. In addition, the company will be adding non-cannabis merchant networks over time and will be looking to launch with several hundred retailers across California, including restaurants, c-stores and more. This will enable CaliCard account holders to use the new community currency for virtually all types of products and services. Participating local merchants will benefit from an inexpensive alternative to traditional cashless payment acceptance options, as well as CaliCard-sponsored promotions to help boost adoption and sales. The offering leverages CurrencyWorks’ banking, security and processing relationships. By leveraging proven technology with a few additional services the solution will be able to provide a seamless experience when checking out in store and online, no different than reloading a virtual card in your favorite coffee retailer’s mobile app. Funds can be reloaded at time of purchase to settle a transaction or funds can be kept in your CaliCard account, no different than a traditional checking account and will be accessible 24/7/365. Account holders will be assigned a physical card that can be used in-store, access ATMs as well as to facilitate online purchases. Consumers can also leverage the digital payment interface using the mobile app, which will present the merchant with a unique QR code or will leverage the merchant’s point of sale terminal NFC interface, no different than using Apple Payments.

The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7. 2% from 2020 to 2027. The RNAi therapeutics market in the Middle East & Africa is growing primarily due to the increasing investments in RNAi therapies, and rising prevalence of infectious diseases and chronic conditions in the region.New York, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Middle East and Africa RNAi Therapeutics Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Molecule Type, Application, Route of Administration, and End User ; and Country" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06004195/?utm_source=GNW However, the high cost of RNAi therapeutics restrains the growth of the market.Additionally, a significant number of pipeline candidates for strategic alliances and rise in emphasis on RNA technologies would fuel the growth of the RNAi therapeutics market during the forecast period.RNAi refers to the interference RNA, which is responsible for controlling and manipulating protein translation in the cell.These RNAi are used to silence particular genes that are responsible for diseases.Currently, the awareness about RNAi is increasing extensively due to its ability to offer target-specific mechanism, leading to superior treatment outcomes.The approach is widely utilized for drug development.The increasing number of investments in RNAi therapy development coupled with growing prevalence of infectious diseases and chronic conditions drive the market growth.Lifestyle changes stemming from rising wealth are behind much of the shift, with stroke, heart disease, and lung and liver cancers supplanting lower respiratory diseases and neonatal disorders.For instance, nearly 75% of the geriatric population in the UAE have at least one chronic disease or the other.Chronic disease management requires new strategies to delay health deterioration, enhance functions, and address problems that people confront in their day-to-day lives.This has propelled the growth of healthcare systems.Extensive R&D activities are being conducted by government institutions and academic research centers to discover new drug delivery technologies and deal with the increasing number of patients suffering from infectious diseases (e.g., pneumonia, meningitis, food poisoning, and flu) and chronic conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions).The rising cases of infectious disease with changing environment due to pollution and other factors are propelling the growth of the Middle East & Africa RNAi therapeutics market.In 2019, in a Health Conference at Dubai World Trade Centre, infectious disease experts advised the UAE and GCC public to protect themselves from the risk of acquiring upper respiratory tract diseases such as H1N1 influenza and MERS-CoV by following the communications and recommendations of their national public health authority.According to the Worldometer, 157,000 people are infected with the COVID-19 virus as of November 2020. These numbers show that cases of infectious diseases are increasing day by day.Furthermore, cancer and diabetes are among the leading causes of mortality.According to WHO, in 2012, ~2,250 cancer-related deaths were reported in Lebanon.Cancer is becoming a major public health problem owing to the increasing incidence and mortality.RNAi therapies have significant potential to offer effective treatment for such extensively increasing diseases.The rising cases of such diseases accelerate the need for superior treatments, which bolsters the growth of the Middle East & Africa RNAi therapeutics market.The number of COVID-19 infected cases is increasing significantly across countries in the Middle East & Africa.The Middle East countries have registered a growth in cases in the last few days, with the UAE reaching 59,921 cases, Saudi Arabia reporting 272,590, and Qatar reaching 110,153 confirmed cases.Many companies operating in this region are developing therapies to treat COVID-19. Therefore, continuously growing research and developments in RNAi therapies in these countries coupled with rising prevalence of COVID-19 would bolster the growth of the Middle East & Africa RNAi therapeutics market during the forecast period.In 2019, the small interfering RNAs (siRNA) segment accounted for a larger share of the Middle East & Africa RNAi therapeutics market.Market growth for this segment is attributed to the increasing preference for small interfering RNAs for drug development and growing number of research partnerships.Furthermore, the microRNA (miRNA) segment is expected to register a higher CAGR in the market during the forecast period.A few of the major secondary sources referred to while preparing this report on the Middle East & Africa RNAi therapeutics market are the World Health Organization (WHO), International Agency of Research on Cancer and Prevention, and Worldometer.Read the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p06004195/?utm_source=GNWAbout ReportlinkerReportLinker is an award-winning market research solution.
