TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--dynaCERT Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DYA) (OTCQX:DYFSF) (FRA:DMJ) ("dynaCERT" or the "Company") announces that its strategic alliance with Mosolf SE & Co. AG ("Mosolf"), first announced by the Company in a news release dated October 16, 2019 (and commented upon in its subsequent Management Discussion & Analysis in 2020 Q1 and Q2), has been terminated. Though discussions pertaining to this strategic alliance continued throughout 2021, the Company has recently recognized the termination of the strategic alliance from Mosolf. The Company's strategic alliance with Mosolf initially included a purchase order for 1,000 HydraGEN™ units, a dealership agreement for Germany and an understanding to negotiate towards a joint venture for the passenger car after-market in Europe. Though the Company enjoyed a positive relationship with the Mosolf group and its principals, the objectives of the initial arrangement have not materialized, as only 48 units out of the 1,000 units under the foregoing purchase order were delivered. As with several other orders received by the Company in late 2019 and early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on this relationship, both in terms of access to the potential markets and clients of Mosolf, and in terms of the Company's limitations on production (and availability of inputs) throughout the lockdowns imposed by the Government of Ontario throughout 2020 and into 2021. At the same time, the materiality of this dealership declined in 2020 because the overall number of dealers increased significantly (with dynaCERT now having over 45 dealers globally, seven (7) of which are located and operate in Europe), and because of the increasing relative importance of the Company’s relationship with its other dealers and agents that operate in multiple centres globally. These European dealership arrangements are entered into between the Company's European subsidiary, dynaCERT GmbH Inc. (which operates out of Germany, with a total of five (5) dedicated employees) and cover various European countries, including Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Benelux, Italy, Portugal, Latvia and the Baltics, the UK and Ireland.

The Company notes that the disclosures in this press release are provided to comply with a request by Staff of the Ontario Securities Commission following a continuous disclosure review.

Total operating revenue for the current quarter was $3.14 billion, an increase of 27% compared with $2.47 billion for the third quarter 2020. All segments contributed double-digit revenue growth versus the prior year period. Truckload (JBT) and Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS) grew revenue 87% and 55% year-over-year, respectively, as both segments were able to source and secure capacity for customers in the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360°^® in this capacity-constrained freight environment. Intermodal (JBI) revenue grew 17%, driven by a 24% increase in revenue per load, partially offset by a 6% decline in volume. Dedicated Contract Services^® (DCS^®) revenue grew 20% as a result of a 12% increase in average revenue producing trucks and a 7% increase in fleet productivity versus the prior year period. Final Mile Services^® (FMS) revenue increased 13% as revenue per stop increased 17%, partially offset by 3% fewer stops. Current quarter total operating revenue, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 23% versus the comparable quarter 2020.

Total freight transactions in the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 increased to $518 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $358 million in the prior year quarter. ICS revenue on the platform increased 36% to $397 million versus a year ago. JBI and JBT executed approximately $34 million and $87 million, respectively, of third-party dray, independent contractor and power-only capacity through the platform during the quarter.

Operating income for the current quarter totaled $273.8 million versus $175.5 million for the third quarter 2020. Operating income increased from third quarter 2020 primarily from customer rate and cost recovery efforts and further scaling into our technology investments at a consolidated level, in addition to higher productivity of our assets and people across our ICS and JBT segments. These items were partially offset by a lack of network fluidity from both rail and customer activity in JBI as well as increases in: driver wage and recruiting costs; rail and truck purchase transportation expense; non-driver personnel salary, wages and incentive compensation; group medical expense; and implementation costs for new business in both our DCS and FMS segments.

Interest expense in the current quarter was comparable to the prior year period. The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 23.7% compared to 23.3% for third quarter 2020. We expect our 2021 annual tax rate to fall between 23.5% and 24.0%.

Segment Information:

Intermodal (JBI)

• Third Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $1.41 billion; up 17%
• Third Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $165.1 million; up 52%

Overall intermodal volumes declined 6% versus the same period in 2020. Eastern network loads declined 2%, while transcontinental loads declined 9% compared to the third quarter 2020. Demand for intermodal capacity remains strong, however, volumes in the quarter were negatively impacted by a continuation of rail restrictions across the network and elevated detention of trailing equipment at customer facilities. We believe labor shortages across the industry in both rail and truck networks and at customer warehouses are at the core of the supply-chain fluidity challenges limiting our asset utilization and capacity. Despite these volume-related challenges, revenue increased by 17%, driven by a 24% increase in revenue per load resulting from a combination of mix, customer rates, and fuel surcharge revenue, partially offset by the volume decline. Revenue per load, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, increased 18% year over year.

Operating income increased by 52% year over year primarily from higher customer rate and cost recovery efforts compared to the prior year period. Rate and cost recovery efforts were partially offset by higher rail and third-party dray purchased transportation costs, increases in driver wages, benefits and recruiting costs, and activity-based costs to accommodate network inefficiencies. Higher non-driver personnel, group medical and equipment costs also offset higher revenue per load. The current period ended with 102,230 units of trailing capacity and 6,017 power units in the dray fleet.

Dedicated Contract Services (DCS)

• Third Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $665 million; up 20%
• Third Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $78.1 million; down 3%

DCS revenue increased 20% during the current quarter over the same period in 2020. Productivity, defined as revenue per truck per week, was up 7% versus the prior period. Productivity, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, increased 3% versus the prior period. A net additional 1,527 revenue producing trucks were in the fleet by the end of the quarter compared to the prior year period, and a net additional 744 versus the end of the second quarter 2021. Customer retention rates remain above 98%.

Operating income decreased 3% from the prior year quarter. Benefits from higher revenue and increased productivity of assets were more than offset by increases in driver wage and recruiting costs, non-driver personnel salary, wages and incentive compensation, and other costs related to the implementation of new, long-term contractual business.

Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS)

• Third Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $666 million; up 55%
• Third Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $14.7 million; compared to $(18.3) million loss in 3Q’20

ICS revenue increased 55% in the current quarter versus the third quarter 2020. Segment volumes increased 4% in the quarter while truckload volumes increased 14% from the prior year period. Revenue per load increased 48%. In addition to customer freight mix, revenue per load was favorably impacted by higher contractual and spot rates in our truckload business as compared to the third quarter 2020. Contractual volumes represented approximately 54% of the total load volume and 41% of the total revenue in the current quarter compared to 58% and 38%, respectively, in third quarter 2020. Of the total reported ICS revenue, approximately $397 million was executed through the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 compared to $291 million in third quarter 2020.

Operating income increased to $14.7 million compared to an operating loss of $18.3 million in the third quarter 2020. Gross profit margins increased to 12.0% in the current period versus 7.6% in the prior period. Benefits from higher gross margin were partially offset by higher personnel and technology costs compared to the same period 2020. ICS carrier base increased 35% versus the third quarter 2020.

Final Mile Services (FMS)

• Third Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $206 million; up 13%
• Third Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $1.3 million; down 39%

FMS revenue increased 13% compared to the same period 2020. Stop count within FMS decreased 3% during the current quarter versus a year ago. The addition of multiple new customer contracts implemented over the last year were more than offset by the reduction in stops for several customers related to labor and supply-chain constraints. Productivity, defined as revenue per stop, increased approximately 17% compared to the prior year period primarily from a shift in customer mix of business, in addition to the implementation of higher rates.

Operating income decreased 39% over the prior year quarter primarily from implementation costs related to new long-term contractual business, higher third-party contract carrier costs, and lower volumes with certain customers related to product availability as a result of supply-chain disruptions. Higher personnel expense related to salary, wages and incentive compensation and group medical costs also contributed to the decline in operating income.

Truckload (JBT)

• Third Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $204 million; up 87%
• Third Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $14.7 million; up 397%

JBT revenue increased 87% from the same period in 2020. Revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 85%, primarily from a 65% increase in revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue and a 12% increase in load count compared to a year ago. The increase in revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue was driven by a 36% increase in revenue per loaded mile excluding fuel surcharge revenue and a 20% increase in average length of haul. Load count growth and the length of haul increase were primarily related to the continued expansion of J.B. Hunt 360box^® which leverages the J.B. Hunt 360 platform to access drop-trailer capacity for customers across our transportation network. Comparable contractual customer rates were up approximately 29% compared to the same period 2020. The current period ended with 9,906 trailers and 1,965 tractors, compared to 8,245 and 1,713 respectively for the prior year period.

Operating income increased to $14.7 million compared $2.9 million in the third quarter 2020. Benefits from increased load counts and revenue per load were partially offset by increases in purchased transportation expense, higher driver wages and recruiting costs, higher non-driver personnel expense related to salary, wages and incentive compensation, and increases in group medical costs. Further investments in both personnel and technology related to the continued expansion of 360box also partially offset higher revenue.

Order includes 2 APM^® 75T HE electric harbor tractors to be used in the Freetown Terminal in Sierra Leone

This 3^rd order from Bolloré Ports, which is part of its unprecedented Green Terminal environmental labeling process for its 18 container and roll-on/roll-off terminals, confirms the success of the partnership with Gaussin. It includes the supply of 4 POWERPACK^® HE and a 6x4 multi-charge station.

HÉRICOURT, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GAUSSIN (EURONEXT GROWTH: ALGAU - FR0013495298), a pioneer of clean and smart freight transport, announces a new order from Bolloré Ports for 2 APM^® 75T HE electric port tractors, 4 POWERPACK^® HE and a 6x4 multi-load station for the Freetown port terminal in Sierra Leone.

"We are honored by the confidence Bolloré Ports continues to have in Gaussin’s expertise and technology. This new order, the third one from Bolloré Ports, also attests to the commercial success of the APM^® 75T equipped with batteries from Blue Solutions, the model now deployed in Africa, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand. Gaussin and Bolloré Ports share the same commitment to carbon-free port logistics and our Group is proud to continue to support Bolloré Ports in its goals,” said Christophe Gaussin, CEO of the GAUSSIN Group.

"Gaussin's technology is fully in line with our groundbreaking Green Terminal process, which aims to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. It was therefore a natural decision to continue our collaboration with Gaussin through this new order. The success of this French partnership is also proof that pooling skills to fight against the effects of global warming can lead to concrete actions to effectively and sustainably fight against global warming while improving operational performance," said Philippe Labonne, CEO of Bolloré Ports.

Successful partnership between Gaussin and Bolloré Ports

The APM^® 75T HE was developed as a result of the combination of Gaussin's expertise in the production of handling vehicles, Blue Solutions' expertise in the production of electric batteries and Bolloré Ports' expertise in port logistics.

This innovative partnership has led to the development of eco-responsible electric logistics and mobility solutions that are ideal for extreme environments, from the tropics to the desert, where heat alters sensitive components, particularly batteries. The APM^® 75T HE is the first container transport solution designed specifically for hot countries, thanks to its unique solid-state battery technology, which is reliable at external temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C.

Designed on the basis of a modular and versatile platform, the APM^® is the only electric port vehicle on the market capable of operating without interruption due to Gaussin’s patented "battery swap" system that allows the batteries to be changed in just a few minutes.

This "FULL ELEC" model has many other advantages. Not only does it allow for significant energy savings and contribute to a totally carbon-free port logistics, but it also reduces maintenance costs. By putting an end to the noise pollution of traditional vehicles, the "FULL ELEC" model reinforces productivity, safety and driving comfort.

The LMP^® battery: an electric battery technology adapted to extreme conditions

The LMP^® battery is an entirely solid-state technology, designed and produced by Blue Solutions, a subsidiary of the Bolloré Group. Fully produced in France, it is distinguished by its high energy density and safety of use. The solid electrolyte gives it a very high level of safety with no risk of thermal runaway. It is particularly well suited to extreme weather conditions and to the demanding productivity of heavy handling vehicles.

LMP^® batteries do not contain cobalt, nickel, solvents or rare earth elements, ensuring independence from materials that are increasingly critical to society and the environment and thus providing real competitive advantages in today's market.

Freetown Terminal

The Freetown Terminal, with a capacity of 380,000 TEUs, is the main container terminal in Sierra Leone and the most important gateway for trade and commerce in the country.

Bolloré Ports, which employs several hundred people at the terminal, has recently undertaken a series of improvements, including the integration of modern, adapted and environmentally friendly handling equipment.

The objective of Bolloré Ports is to bring the productivity of these port infrastructures in Sierra Leone up to the level of the best ports on the African continent in the very short term.

Bolloré Ports' Green Terminal

The "Green Terminal" labeling process was initiated by Bolloré Ports and launched in 2021 with the objective of contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint of its activities. It is based on a comprehensive methodology covering all environmental concerns through 8 fundamental pillars. The entire process, from project definition to auditing, has been validated by Bureau Veritas, one of the world's leading testing, inspection and certification companies. Their experts will be responsible for supporting Bolloré Ports throughout the year in deploying the label in its network and for carrying out audits to assess the environmental performance of its port terminals with a view to issuing a certificate of compliance.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#FSM--KloudGin, the leading provider of AI cloud-based field service and asset management solutions, announced the company has been selected by Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) to digitally modernize the data collection of the various operational and regulatory readings for processes at its Richmond and Passyunk gas processing facilities in the City.

KloudGin’s single-cloud application, running on AWS, is designed to help PGW reduce manual data collection and entry, create real-time compliance reporting, and increase service efficiency.

The two PGW facilities process, store, and distribute natural gas to homes and businesses. Plant operators analyze readings every hour from a variety of systems, 24/7 - including temperature, volume, and flow. PGW sought to create efficiencies and streamline their manual, paper-based data capture processes, and have selected a KloudGin solution. The project’s implementation support is being provided by Utility Solutions Partners (USP).

With KloudGin’s solution, PGW workers will carry a mobile tablet, which includes a KloudGin Survey with specific field-focused questions that can be answered offline or online. PGW technicians will conduct equipment evaluations and utilize the Survey’s digital walk-through for inputting data and completing assessments. When workers are offline and then enter a Wi-Fi enabled area, the data will then sync. The KloudGin system will then present the data in dashboards, for review by PGW supervisors in real time. The process is designed to provide fast digital efficiency.

“PGW is digitizing their complex, mission critical processes to get the right info collected at the right time to make the right decisions, maximizing reliability and asset uptime,” said Vikram Takru, KloudGin Co-founder and CEO. “PGW wanted digital transformation mobility - both offline and online - for a rugged, easy-to-use, field-worker-first modern application. As utilities transform to more efficient digital management of asset and customer service work, they will begin to utilize modern cloud, mobile, AI/ML, field service, work and asset management solutions built from the ground up.”

The new KloudGin digital capture capabilities provide PGW with:

• Elimination of paper forms - created by technicians on three daily shifts - that had to be reviewed, approved, and re-keyed at the end of each day.
• A digital approval system for the data that’s verified by supervisors.
• Digitally archived data that can easily be sourced for regulatory compliance reporting or review.
• A flexible system where existing forms can be reviewed, and new forms can be added.
• Dashboards with historical and current readings.
• Greater data accuracy about equipment and services.

Ultimately, the digital system will help PGW continue to deliver outstanding service to its 500,000 customers in Philadelphia.
