SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (Nasdaq: CRDO), an innovator in providing secure, high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver improved energy efficiency as data rates and corresponding bandwidth requirements increase through the data infrastructure market, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, ended November 2, 2024.

A replay of the webcast will be available via the web at http://investors.credosemi.com . Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures is included below. This non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that Credo presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of share-based compensation expenses, asset impairment and related charges (if applicable), and the related tax effect adjustment to the provision for income taxes. Credo uses a full-year non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This full-year non-GAAP tax rate is based on Credo’s annual GAAP income, adjusted to exclude non-GAAP items, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period-specific tax items which vary in size and frequency. Credo’s non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate, such as tax law changes, significant changes in Credo’s geographic mix of revenue and expenses or changes to Credo’s corporate structure. GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a non-GAAP net loss, and calculated using non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP adjustment for the number of shares used in the diluted per share calculations excludes the impact of share-based compensation expenses expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method. Credo believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Credo’s financial condition and results of operations. While Credo uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Credo does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Credo believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. Externally, management believes that investors may find Credo’s non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Credo's operating performance and the valuation of Credo. Internally, Credo's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas: Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Credo’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Credo’s results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

In 2024, there were lots of major housing schemes, plans for offices in the city centre and house extensions. Looking ahead to 2025, it's difficult to predict exactly what developers will be thinking. Clearly, pressures are always mounting when it comes to housing numbers. An overhaul of the National Planning Policy Framework means more and more areas of the countryside could be consumed by housing plans. Angela Rayner, deputy prime minister, unveiled an overhaul of England's planning rules to help deliver Labour's promise of 1.5m new homes by 2029 back in the summer. READ MORE: Major £300m HIF1 road scheme approved by government Oxford North (Image: Contributed) In Oxfordshire, each district has had significant increases. In Oxford city, the target has been set at 1,051 new homes annually – up from the current target of 762 homes a year. For South Oxfordshire, the proposed target has been set at 1,179 new homes annually – up from the current target of 579 homes a year. For West Oxfordshire it is 889 new homes annually – up from the current target of 549 homes a year. And the proposed target for Cherwell has been set at 1,095 new homes annually – up from the current target of 706 homes a year. One area which will almost certainly have more planning applications is Oxford North. Once completed Oxford North will comprise one million sq ft of laboratories and workspaces for science and technology companies, 480 new homes, and amenities including a market square, hotel, nursery, cafe, bar and three public parks. An artist's impression of the Oxford North development (Image: Contributed) Botley Road has also been the subject of lots of plans for labs and offices recently. The retail park is under threat from building work and developers could be eyeing up more space in that area. One plan which is quickly taking shape and is set to open in 2025 is the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for humanities. Some argue it will boost the city's cultural scene in the post-pandemic world and offers a contrast to the West End of the city which is increasingly seeing laboratories and science buildings being built ahead of retail and leisure near Frideswide Square. The centre designed by Hopkins Architects will be home to a 500-seat concert hall and 250-seat theatre. In addition to the concert hall and theatre, the building will also include an 89-seat lecture and film screening facility, a school engagement centre, and a Bate collection of musical instruments and library.

Schwarzman Centre for humanities (Image: Ed Nix) A controversial planning application in 2024 was the demolition of Oxford's Odeon cinema. It will be replaced with Oxford's first aparthotel. The aparthotel will feature around 145 rooms, and these will be built on the upper five storeys of the building, with a reception on the ground floor, including a bar and café. Aparthotel rooms are different from those at a normal hotel as they offer furnished apartments, with an en-suite kitchen featuring a cooker and fridge. This could be a common trend over the next year if developers can snap up under-used buildings and get planning permission to either convert them or demolish them to build a replacement. One plan that could emerge in 2025 is the housing development for North Oxford Golf Club, off Banbury Road. North Oxford Golf Club (Image: Contributed) It has been selected as part of a development of 1,180 homes between Cutteslowe and the A34 in Cherwell District Council 's proposals to help Oxford's unmet housing need. However, an outline planning application is yet to be submitted. Despite members leading a campaign over the last few years to save it, they are now resigned to the fact it will close on October 31 2025. More applications could also be coming as part of the huge Crab Hill development in Wantage Outline planning application has already been granted for 669 homes at the Crab Hill site but details around design for different phases of the development are in the process of being approved. The plans are part of the 1,500 home Kingsgrove development which was approved in 2015.

A sore Mitch Marsh is set to be eased into the second Test against India in Adelaide as Australia attempt to bounce back from their series-opening flop in Perth. India lead the five-Test Border-Gavaskar series 1-0 after crushing Australia by 295 runs inside four days at Perth Stadium. Test skipper Pat Cummins has hinted Australia are likely to retain the same XI for the pink ball Test in Adelaide despite their woeful batting display in Perth. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Marnus Labuschagne is under the most heat after posting two off 52 balls in the first innings before making three in the second dig. Debutant Nathan McSweeney (10, 0), Usman Khawaja (eight, four) and Steve Smith (0, 17) are others who are desperate for a big score. Marsh has barely bowled this year due to a series of niggles, but he racked up 17 overs across two innings in Perth. The 33-year-old picked up 2-12 off five overs in India’s first innings, before toiling for 1-65 off 12 in the second innings as the visitors declared at 6-487. Marsh then made 47 off 67 balls on Monday in Australia’s total of 238. With Cameron Green (back) ruled out for the summer, Marsh’s bowling is crucial for Australia as the hosts attempt to ease the load on quicks Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. Marsh pulled up sore from the Perth Test, but he at least has a 10-day break before the day-night clash in Adelaide. Cummins hopes Marsh will be able to bowl in each Test match he plays this summer, but his body will be closely monitored in the lead-up to Adelaide. “He’s (been) battling a couple of little niggles since the UK tour,” Cummins said. “So the main thing is he’s in there as one of the top six batters in the country and bowling is a bonus. “He was a little bit sore towards the end of this Test match. “In the next 10 days, chance to freshen up try and get it right. We’ll see how he goes. Ideally, he would be able to bowl in each Test match.” Australia last won a Border-Gavaskar series in 2014-15, with India holding the trophy since 2017. India are aiming to beat Australia at home for a third consecutive series. The last time Australia recovered from a 1-0 deficit and came back to win a Test series was in the 1997 Ashes in England. With the Test match in Perth finishing in four days, Cummins said the team was likely to arrive in Adelaide a day earlier than first planned. Cummins is confident his team will quickly adapt to the pink ball. “No doubt the batters will want at least one hit in daylight and night time,” Cummins said. “And same with fielding — we’ll catch some balls under lights and do a fielding session during the day. “It’s just a little bit different to pick up with the eye. As a bowler it feels a little bit different. “But one or two sessions — we’ve played a lot with pink balls, so it’s not as big an adjustment for us.” LIVE, FREE AND ON DEMAND: Watch Australia v India on Seven and 7plus Sport
Mumbai, Dec 28 (IANS): Veteran Marathi films and television actress Prajakta Mali slammed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Suresh R. Dhas for making certain scurrilous remarks against her, demanding a public apology, here on Saturday. Speaking to media persons, Mali, 35, also said that she had complained to the Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) and plans to write and meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the Deputy CMs on the issue. The actress – who started her film career at the age of 15 with a bit role in Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Swades’ (2004) – took strong umbrage at the ruling BJP MLA Dhas (from Ashti in Beed district) for his insinuating remarks targeting her character and reputation. Breaking down several times during the media meet, she cautioned Dhas and other politicians from “involving the names of film personalities who are soft targets” for their personal political aims. “All this has been going on for over a month-and-half, but I did not react... Just because I was silent doesn’t imply my tacit consent to whatever is said about me,” said Mali. Her ire was especially against Dhas’ remarks naming her along with a couple of other Marathi actresses, while speaking on his political rival, ruling ally Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Minister Dhananjay Munde and the boiling row over the killing of Massajog Sarpanch, Santosh Pandit Deshmukh on December 9. Among other things, Dhas hinted that actresses like Prajaktta Mali keep coming to Parli, and certain other insinuations that left her livid, shocked the film fraternity and agonised her family. Strongly condemning Dhas’ baseless and tasteless remarks pointing fingers at her character, she said that he probably had no inkling of the damage caused to her dignity and reputation. “He was referring to just one brief meeting at a public function and a photograph. He made baseless statements. But the media and social media blew it out of proportion with thousands of videos going viral. We are all suffering, my mother couldn’t sleep the whole night, and my brother has blocked all his social media accounts,” she said, while tears welled up in her eyes several times during her media encounter. The actress said she came forward to demand a public apology from Dhas, not only to her personally but also to he womenfolk in general whom he has tainted with his utterances. “I want to tell Dhas. You are a politician, we are artists and entertainment is our profession. You indulge in your politics, but why do you have to drag us actors into it? Do only female artists come to Parli, have no male artists ever been there? Then why are we being singled out,” said Mali. She said that such behaviour does not behove politicians in the state, raising suspicions over the character of women artists or their achievements just to play out their personal politics, and the media blows it up for sensation and boosting TRPs. Mali said she has requested the Maharashtra State Commission for Women. (MSCW) to initiate action against all concerned within the legal framework, and urged the CM for measures to curb social media from sensationalising such baseless things without any evidence to back it up. To a question, she said that the entertainment industry is sympathetic to her and if needed she was ready to assume a leadership role to stop the assault on entertainers and celebrities by the politicians. “If such things continue, there are questions raised that in future, people may not encourage their children to become part of the entertainment industry. We entertain the masses, but some people misuse and abuse our name to create their own entertainment,” she said sharply. Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and certain other local politicians have expressed support for Mali’s cause.

Fishburn leads at Sea Island as Dahmen keeps hope alive to keep jobWASHINGTON: Elon Musk, the world’s richest person and one of Donald Trump’s closest allies, met with US lawmakers Thursday on his plans for overseeing radical government spending cuts under the incoming administration. President-elect Trump rewarded the Tesla, X and SpaceX chief for his support during the White House campaign by naming him head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, along with another wealthy ally, Vivek Ramaswamy. Although the office, dubbed DOGE, has a purely advisory role, Musk’s star power and intense influence in Trump’s inner circle bring political clout. As Musk and Ramaswamy strode into the Capitol for meetings with lawmakers, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson touted “a new day in America.” “There’s an enormous amount of waste, fraud and abuse,” he told reporters. “Government is too big, it does too many things, and it does almost nothing well.” Musk and Ramaswamy have said they can identify billions of dollars of cuts in spending, sparking questions about whether Republicans will even try to slash politically popular social security programs. Wave of terminations Writing in the Wall Street Journal last month, the two businessmen laid out plans for the White House to cut staff, trim government programs and reduce federal regulations, even if it means bypassing Congress, which holds budgetary power. “The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long,” Musk and Ramaswamy wrote. “We’re doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. During Trump’s election campaign, Musk vowed to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion. This would represent cutting total US spending by a third, almost certainly meaning devastation of social support programs — something that has never garnered strong political backing. Musk’s emphasis on firing large numbers of government employees, however, echoes Republican talking points about the need to take on an overbearing state and may garner more support. Musk says he is seeking “mass head-count reductions across the federal bureaucracy.” Musk suggested banning government employees from working at home as an opening tactic. “Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome.” Cuts will also target subsidies to public broadcasters and groups such as Planned Parenthood, which campaigns for abortion access and offers an array of reproductive health services. Social welfare But DOGE is unlikely, at least initially, to go after welfare programs such as Social Security or health insurance for the poor and seniors, Ramaswamy said in an interview with Axios on Wednesday. Such cuts should be “a policy decision that belongs to the voters” and their representatives in Congress, Ramaswamy said. A reduction in military spending, which climbed to $820 billion in 2023, is also unlikely to be on the table. Musk’s new role raises the question of potential conflicts of interest, since he could be issuing policy recommendations that impact directly on his own business empire. Underlining the close connection to DOGE, Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency is called Dogecoin. — AFP

Britain's leader Keir Starmer makes his first trip to the Gulf as prime minister from Sunday, seeking to attract investment from the region's oil-rich states, Downing Street announced. Starmer will first visit the United Arab Emirates and then travel to Saudi Arabia, before stopping off in Cyprus on his way back to London on Tuesday in a bid "to build closer ties and drive long term UK growth". The trip to Abu Dhabi and Riyadh comes as his Labour government pursues a free-trade deal with the Gulf Cooperation Council's six nations: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. "There is huge untapped potential in this region, which is why, while here, I will be making the case to accelerate progress on the Gulf Cooperation Council Free Trade Agreement," Starmer said in a statement released Saturday. The meetings will also aim to "deepen our research and development collaboration" and partner on projects in areas including defence and artificial intelligence, Starmer added. The British leader will land in the UAE on Sunday evening, ahead of Monday morning talks with its president Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Later Monday, Starmer will fly to Saudi Arabia to meet Riyadh's de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who last week hosted French President Emmanuel Macron. A Downing Street press release called the UAE and Saudi "some of the UK's most vital modern-day partners". The regional tour will end on Tuesday with Starmer meeting President Nikos Christodoulides in Nicosia, the first bilateral talks between the leaders of Britain and Cyprus in over five decades. Starmer is also due to address British troops stationed in Cyprus. Labour has staked its credibility on a promise to get Britain's sluggish economy firing again. It says a GCC agreement could boost bilateral trade, currently accounting for £55 billion ($70 bn) of UK trade, by 16 percent, "potentially adding an extra £8.6 billion a year in the long run". It hopes a deal would see Gulf sovereign wealth funds invest in a range of sectors, including energy and infrastructure, while also opening up lucrative markets to British firms. Starmer's trip comes after Britain last week rolled out the diplomatic red carpet for Qatar's emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani who enjoyed a state visit to the UK. Starmer discussed trade with the royal during talks in Downing Street that coincided with Qatar announcing it will invest £1 billion ($1.3 billion) in British climate technologies. Discussing regional conflicts is expected to be "high up the agenda", including the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon and renewed unrest in Syria. Starmer will also be looking to repair relations between the UK and UAE that soured under the previous Conservative government after an Abu Dhabi-backed bid to buy the Telegraph newspaper failed. The Gulf visit will be Starmer's 15th international trip since he entered Number 10 on July 5. Opponents have criticised the amount of time he has spent out of the country but allies insist the trips have been vital to get to know other world leaders. Starmer, 61, has been insisting in capitals that "Britain is back on the world stage" following rancour over its departure from the European Union. pdh/aks/jjAP Sports SummaryBrief at 3:31 p.m. ESTDibba scores 19 in Southern Illinois' 73-70 win against Southern Indiana
