New two-story atrium debuts as part of Oosterdam's Evolution transformation; reimagined Crow's Nest expands live entertainment experiences

SEATTLE, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Holland America Line is introducing Bar 1873, a new signature gathering place where contemporary design, cocktails and live music bring more than 150 years of the cruise line's history to life. Debuting aboard Oosterdam as part of the ship's Holland America Evolution transformation, the two-story atrium venue will feature a soaring illuminated tulip sculpture, curated heritage displays and comfortable lounges designed for cocktails, conversation and intimate entertainment. As part of the Evolution enhancements, Oosterdam also will debut a reimagined Crow's Nest, expanding the ship's live entertainment offerings with new music programming and greater flexibility for activities throughout the day and evening.

Designed to bring Holland America Line's history to life in a contemporary way, Bar 1873 will become a hallmark of the Holland America Evolution program. Different ships will offer their own interpretation of the venue, drawing inspiration from a different story, tradition or milestone from the cruise line's more than 150-year history. On Oosterdam, the venue's theme, May She Be Blessed, honors the maritime tradition of ship christenings and the godmothers who have helped launch generations of Holland America Line ships.

"One of the goals of Holland America Evolution is to celebrate the traditions that have always made us special while introducing fresh experiences for today's guests," said Beth Bodensteiner, president of Holland America Line. "Bar 1873 is one of the most exciting examples of that vision. On Oosterdam, we've taken an important part of our history and transformed it into a completely new venue. As the concept expands, each bar will draw inspiration from a different part of our heritage, creating a distinct experience aboard every Evolution ship."

Oosterdam's Bar 1873 draws from the 1958 christening of Rotterdam V by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, reflecting Holland America Line's longstanding connection to the Dutch royal family. Artwork, maritime references and design details throughout the venue will interpret that story, creating a setting that feels contemporary while remaining connected to the people and traditions that have shaped the cruise line. Live piano performances will serve as a centerpiece of the experience during pre-dinner cocktail hours and throughout the evening, complemented by select appearances from vocalists and Holland America Line's Vivace musicians.

A dramatic centerpiece at the heart of the ship

Designed in partnership with London-based design firm SMC, Bar 1873 is built around Oosterdam's central atrium on Deck 2. The space is defined by a soaring three-meter illuminated tulip sculpture inspired by the Netherlands' national flower and Holland America Line's signature orange tulip. Rising above the venue and visible from multiple vantage points throughout the atrium, the dramatic centerpiece casts intricate patterns of light across the space while serving as a visual tribute to the cruise line's Dutch roots. Surrounding the tulip are more than 200 heritage and repurposed objects, bespoke artwork and a visual timeline tracing the company's legacy, creating a layered experience that connects the venue's contemporary design to Holland America Line's history.

Oosterdam's Bar 1873 extends its central narrative through a series of details inspired by the places, people and era behind the story. Vintage-style maps and custom artwork weave together Dutch cultural influences, maritime exploration and the spirit of travel that has defined Holland America Line for more than 150 years. Throughout the space, these elements connect guests to the geography, history and traditions behind the venue's inspiration.

The design also includes a number of subtle tributes to Holland America Line's past. Carpets are inspired by the movement of light across the ocean and feature a dramatic centerpiece rug influenced by a clock in the main dining room of SS Rotterdam. The lounge's grand fireplace draws inspiration from Holland America Line's original headquarters, now Hotel New York in Rotterdam, reflecting the warmth and hospitality that have long defined the guest experience.

A toast to tradition

Holland America Line has long used its beverage program to tell stories through the glass, creating cocktails inspired by destinations, cultures and moments from the cruise line's history. Bar 1873 builds on that tradition by bringing those stories beyond the menu and into the design of the venue itself.

Inspired by the maritime tradition of ship christenings and the godmothers who have played an important role throughout Holland America Line's history, Oosterdam's Bar 1873 menu is anchored by May She Be Blessed, a celebratory cocktail named for the blessing traditionally bestowed upon a ship before it enters service. Guests will be able to personalize the drink with their choice of essence, creating a personalized toast inspired by one of maritime history's most enduring traditions.

Alongside the signature cocktail, the menu will feature modern interpretations of classic favorites and original creations inspired by the stories behind each Bar 1873 experience.

Reimagined Crow's Nest expands entertainment offerings

As part of Oosterdam's Evolution enhancements, Holland America Line will also introduce a refreshed Crow's Nest experience. Long known as one of the ship's most popular gathering spaces thanks to its panoramic ocean views, the venue will offer greater flexibility for activities and entertainment throughout the day and evening.

Expanded live music programming will create additional opportunities for guests to gather, listen and dance while preserving the relaxed atmosphere and scenic setting that have long made Crow's Nest a guest favorite. The space transitions throughout the day, offering everything from activities and enrichment programming to live music and entertainment in the evening.

In the evening, guests can enjoy performances featuring favorite songs from the 1970s through today. With an engaging, guest-focused approach and a wide-ranging repertoire, the experience is designed to create even more opportunities for live entertainment aboard Oosterdam.

The largest fleet investment in Holland America Line history

As the largest fleet update in the company's 153-year history, Holland America Evolution will revitalize all six Vista Class and Signature Class ships, beginning with Oosterdam and Zuiderdam and extending to the newly acquired Vista Class ship Arcadia.

Holland America Evolution blends new venues and enhanced experiences with the features guests already know and love, while introducing select elements inspired by the cruise line's Pinnacle Class ships. Across the fleet, guests can expect refreshed public spaces, updated accommodations and expanded onboard offerings, all while preserving the gracious service, destination-rich travel and perfectly sized ships that define Holland America Line. Bar 1873 is one example of that approach, pairing a fresh new concept with the traditions and hospitality that have long been part of the guest experience.

Bookings are now open for cruises aboard Oosterdam and Zuiderdam following their transformations. Additional details about Holland America Evolution and upcoming ship enhancements are available at hollandamerica.com/evolution.

Perceptive Discovery Launches Astatine-211 Study Capabilities in the US and UK

Original HTML

Perceptive Discovery becomes the first US provider able to support At-211 studies, expanding access to specialized radiopharmaceutical development infrastructure through its collaboration with Atley Solutions

BOSTON, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Perceptive Discovery today announced the availability of astatine-211 (At-211) radiopharmaceutical development studies at its US and UK locations, becoming the first US provider able to execute At-211 studies.

The milestone builds on Perceptive Discovery's strategic collaboration with Atley Solutions and expands access to specialized infrastructure and scientific expertise for biotech and pharmaceutical companies developing next-generation targeted alpha therapies.

At Perceptive Discovery's laboratory at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), the first Atley C100 module within the collaboration has been installed and successfully used to purify At-211 from an irradiated bismuth-209 target. In the US, At-211 delivered in solution is available from multiple sources, enabling the team to begin supporting US studies immediately with confidence around isotope supply. A second Atley C100 module is expected to be installed at Perceptive Discovery's Needham, Massachusetts facility later this month, further expanding the company's At-211 development capabilities.

With these capabilities now available, sponsors can access specialized At-211 radiochemistry expertise and infrastructure alongside Perceptive Discovery's broader preclinical and translational radiopharmaceutical development capabilities.

Expanding Access to At-211 Development

At-211 is an emerging alpha-emitting radionuclide with significant potential for targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies. However, limited access to specialized infrastructure and radiochemistry expertise has been a barrier to broader development.

Perceptive combines At-211 access with established radiopharmaceutical development expertise, including:

- Internal radiolabeling experience across proteins, peptides, and small molecules

- Multiple precursor chemistries, including boronic acid, boronic ester, tributyl tin, and trimethyl tin approaches

- Analytical characterization using radio-iTLC and HPLC-based methods

- Dedicated At-211 development infrastructure through Perceptive Discovery's collaboration with Atley Solutions, including an operational Atley C100 module at QMUL and planned expansion to the US

- Integration with preclinical imaging, biodistribution, dosimetry, efficacy, and translational development capabilities

"The ability to execute At-211 studies across our UK and US operations represents an important expansion of what we can offer sponsors developing targeted alpha therapies," said Ben Murphy, CEO of Perceptive Discovery. "The installation and successful testing of the first Atley C100 module marks an important milestone in our collaboration with Atley. By combining access to At-211 with our established expertise in radiochemistry, in vivo imaging, oncology models, dosimetry, assay development, and translational radiopharmaceutical workflows, we can help sponsors generate the decision-ready data needed to advance promising programs toward the clinic."

The Atley C100 is an automated manufacturing platform purpose-built for At-211 radiopharmaceuticals. The successful deployment of the first module at Perceptive Discovery's QMUL site, together with planned installation of a second module at the company's Needham facility, provides a foundation for expanding dedicated infrastructure to support the growing number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies exploring At-211-based targeted alpha therapies.

"The availability of these systems marks an important next step in our collaboration with Perceptive Discovery," said Milton Lönnroth, CEO of Atley Solutions. "Establishing dedicated At-211 infrastructure in the US and UK expands access for developers and helps create the foundation needed to advance the next generation of At-211 radiopharmaceuticals."

Perceptive Discovery is now accepting inquiries for At-211 development programs at its US and UK locations.

Core Molding Technologies Reports Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results
Original HTML

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: CMT) (“Core Molding”, “Core” or the “Company”), a leading engineered materials company specializing in molded structural products, principally in building products, industrial and utilities, medium and heavy-duty truck and powersports industries across the United States, Canada and Mexico, today reported financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Eric Palomaki, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The first quarter delivered $17 million in new business wins, gross margin expansion to 20.4%, and continued progress on our strategic Mexico investments. As expected, total sales declined modestly in the first quarter, but our top-line performance does not capture the momentum building across our portfolio. The heavy- and medium-duty truck market remains in a down cycle, and we expect this to persist through the first half of 2026. We delivered a strong sales performance across Powersports-both water and land-along with meaningful contributions from new product categories. The first-quarter gross margin demonstrates our continued pursuit of margin expansion through diversification across Core’s operating model.

“Our Invest for Growth initiatives, and this year’s Must Win Battle focused on Mexico, are translating into tangible results. That progress reflects the disciplined operating model and execution capabilities we have built over the past several years and reinforces our confidence in Core’s long-term growth trajectory. We are also seeing increases across truck orders, supported by pre-buy activity and new program launches tied to our 2024-and-beyond wins. As visibility for the second half improves, we will continue to update our full-year sales outlook in line with customer demand.”

Alex Panda, the Company’s EVP and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “As expected, first quarter sales declined primarily due to the ongoing truck down cycle, which was meaningfully offset by strong demand in the Powersports end market. The gross margin of 20.4% reflected continued operating discipline, prudent cost control, footprint optimization, and favorable program mix. Typical seasonality, mix shifts, and planned tooling revenues support our expectation for full-year gross margin in the range of 17% to 19%.

“Our outlook remains unchanged, and we continue to expect 2026 sales to be flat to up approximately 5% year-over-year. We believe SMC compound wins and demand across other end markets will help offset the truck down cycle during the first half of the year. Based on current visibility, we expect the truck cycle to begin recovering in the second half of 2026, with momentum continuing through 2027.”

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

- Total net sales of $58.6 million decreased 4.7% year-over-year, mainly from expected truck demand, which was mostly offset by meaningful increases in Power sports demand.

- Gross margin of $12.0 million, or 20.4% of net sales, up from 19.2%, or 120 basis point improvement over the year-ago quarter. Sequentially, gross margin improved 520 basis points from 15.2% in the prior year fourth quarter.

- Selling, general, and administrative expenses of $11.2 million, or 19.1% of net sales, compared to $8.9 million, or 14.6% for the prior year first quarter. Excluding succession plan costs of $0.9 million and Mexico expansion related expense of $2.1 million, selling, general and administrative expense totaled $8.2 million or 14.0% of net sales.

- Operating income of $0.8 million, or 1.3% of net sales, compared to operating income of $2.8 million, or 4.6% of net sales for the prior year first quarter.

- Net income of $0.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the prior year first quarter. Adjusted net income1 of $3.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.

Original HTML

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Core Molding Technologies, Inc.

The amended credit facility consists of a $50 million delayed draw term loan and a $50 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.75%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The facility includes a covenant-light structure that provides increased financial flexibility.

“The successful extension of our credit facility is an important milestone that enhances our ability to execute Core’s long-term growth strategy.” said Eric Palomaki, President and Chief Executive Officer of Core Molding Technologies. “Combined with our strong cash generation and healthy balance sheet, this facility provides additional flexibility to invest in operational excellence, support organic growth initiatives, and pursue value-enhancing acquisitions, while maintaining a prudent capital structure.”

“This amended credit agreement significantly enhances Core’s financial flexibility and further strengthens an already healthy balance sheet.” said Alex Panda, Chief Financial Officer of Core Molding Technologies. “The facility extends our debt maturity profile through 2031, provides a covenant-light framework, and reduces our overall cost of capital. Together, these improvements reinforce our strong balance sheet and ensure we have the liquidity and flexibility necessary to support the Company’s long-term financial objectives. We appreciate the confidence our lending partners have shown in Core and remain focused on creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Core Molding Technologies Reports Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results
Original HTML

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: CMT) (“Core Molding”, “Core” or the “Company”), a leading engineered materials company specializing in molded structural products, principally in medium- and heavy-duty truck, powersports, building products, and industrial and utilities industries across the United States, Canada and Mexico today reports financial and operating results for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2026.

Eric Palomaki, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our second quarter results reflect the resilience of our diversified portfolio and the continued execution of our Invest for Growth strategy. As expected, production sales in our medium- and heavy-duty truck markets remained soft; however, strong momentum across our powersports, building products, and industrial and utilities end markets mostly offset that weakness. While tooling revenue remains all project-driven with larger customer acceptances anticipated in the fourth quarter, our commercial execution continues to gain traction. We are pleased with the nearly $26 million in new business awards we secured during the first half of 2026, which further diversify our revenue base and reduce our reliance on historically cyclical end markets. Importantly, 100% of these awards represent net new business rather than replacement volume, and approximately 65% originated from markets outside of our traditional truck and powersports sectors. 74% of this new business will be produced within our U.S. manufacturing footprint, allowing us to leverage installed capacity, improve returns on invested capital, drive profitable growth, and generate stronger cash flow. We are also expanding our presence in compelling secular growth markets. During the quarter, we secured a significant award for battery energy storage systems and continue to pursue opportunities tied to accelerating power demand needed for grid reliability which is impacted by AI data center development, utility infrastructure modernization, and load-shedding solutions.

“In parallel with these initiatives, our 2026 Must Win Battle is transforming our operating footprint and strengthening our competitive position in Mexico. This year, we will quadruple our manufacturing footprint in Monterrey, adding two 4500-ton presses in Matamoros, and advancing a culture of operational excellence that continues to deliver measurable results. I am especially proud of our Mexico team, whose execution enabled the successful completion of a major plant relocation and consolidation in less than nine months all while maintaining excellent on time shipping and quality metrics. These investments reflect our disciplined approach to capital allocation and our commitment to organic growth. By expanding capacity, we are building a scalable platform that supports secured and future programs, accelerates profitable growth, and enhances long-term shareholder value.”

Alex Panda, the Company’s EVP and Chief Financial Officer, said, “For the second quarter, total product or production sales declined 1.2% year over year, as strong growth across powersports, building products, and industrial and utilities end markets largely offset lower truck demand. Production sales, excluding the truck end market, increased 20.8% year over year. This quarter, we again delivered a strong profitability as gross margin was 20.3% of sales. For 2026, we continue to expect total net sales in the flat-to-approximately 5% growth range, including production revenue and tooling project revenue. We continue to anticipate a gradual recovery in the truck market during the second half of the year. Our gross margin projections remain in the 17% to 19% range, depending on end market product mix and the split between production revenues and tooling project revenues.

“Our balance sheet remains strong. During the quarter, we repaid the remaining balance on our 2022 Term Loan, and in July 2026, we successfully amended and extended our credit facilities, further strengthening our financial position. The amended credit agreement provides a $50 million revolving credit facility and a $50 million delayed-draw term loan facility, both maturing in July 2031. During the quarter, we also terminated our interest rate swap agreement, generating a small gain and simplifying our capital structure. With ample liquidity, enhanced financial flexibility, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation, we remain well positioned to execute our ‘Invest for Growth’ strategy and support our long-term growth objectives.”
