AMSTERDAM, Sept 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - LOLC Advanced Technologies (LOLC AT), a fully owned subsidiary of LOLC Holdings PLC, together with Corsair Group International, headquartered in Amsterdam, has announced a landmark partnership to upgrade and expand LOLC AT's existing waste-to-fuel plant at Kerawalapitiya. This strategic initiative aims to address Sri Lanka's growing plastic and polythene waste challenge. With Sri Lanka generating an estimated 7,000 metric tons of solid waste per day, equating to roughly 2.56 million metric tons per year, a significant portion of which consists of polythene and plastic. Plastic pollution has become one of the nation's most pressing environmental concerns, with much of this waste ends up in overflowing landfills, waterways, and oceans, posing serious threats to ecosystems, public health, and tourism.LOLC AT invested in and commissioned a waste-to-fuel plant in 2023, which it has successfully operated throughout 2024. This facility converts non-recyclable plastics into a reusable fuel, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuels while diverting waste from landfill and incineration. The newly formed partnership with Corsair Group International will build upon this foundation, introducing cutting-edge enhancements to increase processing capacity and improve efficiency. Through proprietary technology developed in-house by Corsair together with its technology partners, the project will focus on producing high-quality, ISCC PLUS-certified Pyrolysis Oil contributing to a fully circular economy where waste is transformed into resources that can be reintegrated into the economy in a sustainable and scalable way.The expanded facility will be able to handle larger volumes of plastic waste and process a broader range of material types, transforming them into high-quality pyrolysis oil that serves as a raw material for petrochemical companies to produce new plastics positioning the facility as a key contributor to the circular plastics value chain. In doing so, it will not only address a critical environmental challenge but also create green jobs, stimulate innovation, and position Sri Lanka as a regional leader in sustainable waste management solutions.Designed with cutting-edge technology, the new facility will have the capacity to process 12 million kilograms of plastic waste annually, converting it into high-quality Pyrolysis Oil. This oil will serve as a sustainable raw material for the petrochemical industry, enabling the production of new, recycled, and environmentally friendly plastic products. By transforming discarded plastic from landfills into valuable raw materials, the facility will not only help clean the environment of pollution but also contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy in Sri Lanka.Construction of the facility is scheduled to commence in 2025, with completion expected within approximately two years. Under the partnership, Corsair Group will bring in its technical expertise and global experience in plastic waste recycling, while LOLC AT will leverage its operational capabilities and commitment to developing projects that deliver lasting socio-economic and financial benefits to Sri Lanka.Sharing his thoughts on the new partnership, Mr. Danesh Abeyrathna, Director/ CEO of LOLC Advanced Technologies stated, "This partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges facing Sri Lanka today. By leveraging our operational expertise alongside Corsair's proven waste-to-fuel technology, we aim to not only enhance the efficiency and capacity of our existing facility but also create a tangible, positive impact on the country's plastic and polythene waste problem. Together, we are driving innovation that turns environmental responsibility into practical, measurable action for a greener future".Mr. Jussi Saloranta, CEO of Corsair Group International, added, "We are very excited and honoured to enter into this partnership with LOLC. As one of the most diversified conglomerates in Sri Lanka, LOLC provides an ideal platform for us to collaborate and create meaningful impact. This facility in Colombo represents the first of several planned joint initiatives, and we are fully committed to investing in Sri Lanka's sustainable development. Together, we aim to tackle the plastic waste challenge while building a cleaner, greener future for communities across the country."About LOLC Advanced TechnologiesLOLC Advanced Technologies (Pvt) Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of LOLC Holdings PLC, is the research, innovation, and new business development arm of the Group. The company focuses on pioneering ventures that create long-term socio-economic value and financial returns for the country. Current projects span advanced materials such as graphene, high-value spice extraction, and waste-to-value initiatives that address pressing environmental and economic needs.About Corsair Group:Corsair Group International, headquartered in Amsterdam, is one of the fastest-growing companies in plastic waste recycling, focused on producing high-quality pyrolysis oil. With operations and partnerships spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, the company specializes in converting end-of-life plastics-often destined for landfills or oceans-into premium raw material for petrochemical companies to create new plastics, rather than fuels that are burned and lost from circulation.

SINGAPORE, Sept 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Asia Unicorn Forum (AUF), a future-shaping organisation dedicated to advancing technological innovation and sustainable growth among Asia’s unicorn companies, had published its 2024 Asia Unicorn Development Report in May 2025.The report identifies China, India, and Israel as Asia’s top three nations by unicorn count, with China holding a commanding lead.“While unicorns have long been a focus in investment circles, we now recognise them as a distinct economic phenomenon," said Mr Liu Yanlong (刘彦龙), Executive Chairman of AUF, emphasising the report’s groundbreaking approach and methodology."For the first time, we define unicorns as part of a standalone unicorn economy. Unlike other reports, we analysed 59 metrics across six categories—entrepreneurship, business model innovation, technological edge, capital strength, and more—to uncover the unique drivers of Asian unicorns."We’ve identified a replicable strategic pattern: the Creating Neo-Market Strategy (CNM). Unicorns aren’t just great companies; they pioneer entirely new market categories and become transformative forces."Key Findings1. Landscape for Unicorns- Asia is home to 646 unicorns (startups valued at more than US$1.0 billion) with a combined valuation of US$2.4 trillion (average US$37.0 billion per company), spanning 16 countries and 11 industries.- China dominates with 454 unicorns (70% of Asia’s total), followed by India (12%) and Israel. Only five countries — China, India, Israel, Singapore, and South Korea — have over 10 unicorns each (see Chart 1).2. 2024 Asia Top 100 Unicorns- China claims 75 spots, India 11, and Israel 6, collectively representing 92% of the list.3. Valuation Insights- Total Valuation: China’s unicorns account for US$1.74 trillion (73% of Asia’s total), while India’s total is US$281.8 billion (12%).- Average Valuation: China, Singapore, the UAE, and Vietnam exceed Asia’s average of US$37 billion (see Chart 2).4. Industry Breakdown:- China’s unicorns lead in software, transportation, key and core technology, consumer, fintech, and media/entertainment, each surpassing US$100 billion in total valuation. India’s software sector is its sole industry crossing this threshold.- Israel (software) and Singapore (consumer) show notable valuations (see Chart 3).5. Emerging Unicorns:- 73 new unicorns emerged in 2024, including 10 companies that achieved unicorn status within one year—far outpacing the traditional 10-year trajectory. Eight of these are Chinese companies.6. Business Models:- Platform-based (43%) and technology-driven (42%) models dominate Asia’s unicorn ecosystem.Future Trends - Tech Convergence: IT and biotech will increasingly merge, with growth extending into new energy and advanced materials.- Regionalisation: Amid global fragmentation, Asian unicorns will face intensified regional competition and collaboration.- AI & Energy: Unicorns in these sectors are poised to surge, reshaping Asia’s energy landscape.Report AvailabilityThe 300-page 2024 Asia Unicorn Development Report offers in-depth analysis of success patterns and regional drivers.

KualaLumpur, Sep 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CBL International Limited (NASDAQ: BANL) (the “Company” or “CBL”), the listing vehicle of the Banle Group (“Banle” or “the Group”), a leading marine fuel logistics company in the Asia-Pacific region, has announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 on September 2, 2025.1H 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights- Revenue of $265.17 million, reflecting resilient performance in a volatile macro environment.- Sales volume increased by 9.8%, driven by network expansion, new customer acquisitions, and expansion toward the non-container liner and biofuel segments.- Gross profit margin increased to 1.02% in 1H2025, reflecting the Company's strategic approach to maintaining profitability while growing market share in a competitive environment.- Net loss narrowed by 38.8% year-on-year to $992,000, demonstrating improved cost control and operating efficiency.- Biofuel sales surged 154.7%, driven by accelerating adoption of sustainable marine fuels under IMO 2023 and EU FuelEU Maritime regulations.- Global network expanded to 65 ports, strengthening CBL’s role as a global one-stop marine fuel logistics platform.- Cash balance of $5.43 million and $50 million committed banking facilities provide strong financial flexibility to support growth and shareholder value.Financial Performance OverviewThe Company reported consolidated revenue of $265.17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a 4.4% decrease from $277.23 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in the marine fuel price which was partially offset by the increase in the sales volume. The increase in sales volume was mainly driven by network expansion, new customer acquisitions, and expansion toward the non-container liner and biofuel segments. Furthermore, the Group’s network demonstrated the Group’s resilience to geopolitical impacts on the marine industry.Gross profit remained stable at $2.71 million with an increase in sales volume to cope with the challenging competition in the market, while gross profit margin increased from 0.98% in 1H2024 to 1.02% in 1H2025. This margin expansion reflects the Company's strategic approach to maintaining profitability while growing market share in a competitive environment.The Company reported a net loss of $992,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a significant 38.8% improvement compared to a net loss of $1.62 million in the same period of 2024, primarily driven by disciplined cost management and operational efficiency initiatives that reduced operating expenses by 17% to $3.42 million from $4.12 million in 1H 2024.Cash and cash equivalents stood at $5.43 million as of June 30, 2025, supported by improved working capital management and expanded banking facilities of $50.0 million, providing enhanced financial flexibility for growth initiatives.Strategic Expansion and Operational ExcellenceCBL's operational expansion continued to be a key growth driver, with the Company's global service network reaching 65 ports by June 30, 2025, strategically positioned across Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Central America. This expansion enabled CBL to effectively navigate geopolitical disruptions, particularly in the Red Sea region and the Middle East, along with the changes in global trade patterns due to the impact of U.S. tariffs policy, by capturing increased demand along alternative intra-Asia and Euro-Asia trade routes.Customer diversification reached a significant milestone, with non-container liner sales accounting for 36.9% of revenue, while sales concentration among the top five customers declined to 60.4% from 66.7% in 1H 2024. The Company continues to service nine of the world's top 12 container shipping lines, which contributed nearly 60% of global container fleet capacity.Additionally, biofuel sales demand was fueled by stricter environmental regulations, including IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator and the EU’s FuelEU Maritime, and surged 154.7% year-on-year in 1H2025, with volumes up 189.5%, reinforcing CBL’s forerunning position in sustainable marine fuels. The Company stayed ahead of this trend with the successful rollout of its B24 biofuel in China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, followed by a 2025 launch in Singapore. The B24 blend, comprising 76% conventional fuel and 24% UCOME, delivers a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional marine fuels.Stricter Environmental Regulations and Industry ReshapingDespite the unpredictability of U.S. trade policy, oil prices, and geopolitical risks, CBL remains cautiously optimistic about the outlook as further uncertainties could impact our results of operations for a particular period. Regarding the ongoing instability in the Red Sea, where vessels were rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope, CBL targeted the increased demand from rerouted vessels, ensuring that our strategic supply chain could meet these demands, allowing us to maintain the stability of our offerings and capitalize on the opportunities created by these disruptions.The adoption of biofuels and other sustainable marine fuels is accelerating as stricter environmental regulations reshape the shipping industry. Consultant agency Exactitude Consultancy is projecting a 50.4% CAGR for the green marine fuel market from 2023 to 2030, as demand for biofuels is expected to climb sharply. Leveraging its early move into sustainable fuels, CBL is expanding its biofuel supply chain and exploring LNG and methanol, positioning itself to capture growth while helping customers meet tightening decarbonization targets across Asia Pacific, Europe, and other key markets.Management Commentary and Future OutlookDr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of CBL International Limited, stated, “Our first half results highlight significant strategic progress. Despite a challenging macro backdrop, we successfully expanded our global network, accelerated our biofuel transition with triple-digit growth, and narrowed our net loss by nearly 40%. These achievements underscore our resilience, operational discipline, and confidence in long-term growth.As regulations tighten and customer demand for sustainable marine fuels accelerates, CBL is uniquely positioned as an early mover with the ISCC certifications and supply partnerships to lead the market transition. We remain focused on executing our strategy to deliver profitable growth and long-term shareholder value.”Outlook Looking ahead, CBL expects to:- Further scale its biofuel supply chain and explore LNG and methanol, leveraging regulatory support and customer adoption.- Continue expanding port coverage to enhance global connectivity.- Maintain disciplined cost management and capitalize on financial flexibility to invest in sustainable fuels and potential shareholder return initiatives.Webcast DetailsCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) cordially invites you to participate in a webcast to discuss its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.Event:2025 Interim Results WebcastDate and Time:10:00 pm – 11:00 pm US EST on September 15, 2025 (Monday) 10:00 am – 11:00 am MST/HKT on September 16, 2025 (Tuesday)Access:The webinar can be accessed live through the website provided below.Webcast Link: https://webcast.roadshowchina.cn/k8WDrnAbout the Banle GroupCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) is the listing vehicle of Banle Group, a reputable marine fuel logistics company based in the Asia Pacific region that was established in 2015.
